Romans 5 - Trials build endurance and endurance character.  I am definitely a character, but I love Jesus - what about you?  It's not too late to start running with Jesus.  He loves you!  He died for you!  In Romans 7 Paul, the author of the book, says the things he wants to do he doesn't, and the things he doesn't want to do he does.  We are all sinners - but he still loves us and wants us to choose him!

I pray you are blessed and encouraged!
