Yes , Jehovah strengthens us so that we “ may endure fully with patience and joy . ” Lithe isitolo besiphinde sibe wumuzi wowokufika kanti indawo bekungeyakhe ngoba wayithenga. Lithe umufi  ubedayisa uphethroli, udizili nopharafini ukulekelela umphakathi, lamncoma  ngosizo abenalo emphakathini ngesitolo sakhe. Yiqiniso, ukuba impumputhe kunezinselele. Kodwa lapho abantu bebhekana nalezo zinselele futhi baqhubeke bejabulela ukuphila, lokho kuwubufakazi bokuthi umuntu uyakwazi ukuzivumelanisa nezimo nokukhuthazela! “ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ , for he has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in union with Christ , just as he chose us in union with him before the founding of the world , that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love . For he foreordained us to the adoption through Jesus Christ as sons to himself , according to the good pleasure of his will , in praise of his glorious undeserved kindness which he kindly conferred upon us by means of his loved one . By means of him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one , yes , the forgiveness of our trespasses , according to the riches of his undeserved kindness . This he caused to abound toward us in all wisdom and good sense , in that he made known to us the sacred secret of his will . It is according to his good pleasure which he purposed in himself for an administration at the full limit of the appointed times , namely , to gather all things together again in the Christ , the things in the heavens and the things on the earth . ” ​ — Eph .
