By faith, we live
Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. (Habakkuk 2:4)
You walk by faith and not by sight because your faith do not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power if God.
By love we serve
Whoever you love, you will serve.
Whoever you serve, you will love because you cannot serve two masters.
If you love the Lord with all your heart then most naturally you will serve Him.
If you are serving the Lord you will serve your brethren in love and unity.
By trials, we become patient.
The trying of your faith develop your patience. More patience leads to experience.
By patience, we endure.
The race of life is not for the swift, nor the battle for the strong, but for those who endures until the end.
As long as you run this race without giving up you will definitely get a prize
So, run with patience that you will obtain the prize.
By giving we spread joy.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)
