There's more to come: We continue to shout our praise even when we're hemmed in with troubles, because we

know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of

virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we're never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can't round up

enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!
