* generosity,
* perseverance in suffering.
Peter also says:
“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another.”
What a powerful reminder! Our talents, time, resources, and even our sufferings are not meant only for ourselves. They are gifts entrusted to us so we can bless others.
Then Peter adds something very important:
“Rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ.”
