Hard
lessons.
Full of pain.
Fountains of growth.
Trust from betrayal.
Tolerance from judgment.
Wisdom from pure foolishness.
Strength tested is impervious.
With faith, no trial is too great to bear.
By your endurance you will gain your soul.

(Luke 21:18-19  But not a hair on your head will perish.  By your endurance you will gain your souls.)
