“The purest joy springs from the deepest humiliation. The strongest and noblest characters are built on the foundation of patience, love, and submission to God’s will.” —Acts of the Apostles 319.

Just this morning I prayed for God to work in me a strong and noble character. It’s been my prayer for some time now. I definitely appreciated coming across this quote this afterward. Patience, love, surrender, that’s how God will continue to build that foundation in me.
