Romans 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. 

Suffering ultimately leads to hope. Our sinful actions may be the cause of the suffering, but the resulting hope has no shame because we have been cleansed by the blood of our Savior!
