To Think About – PATIENCE: James 1:4(NKJV) – But let PATIENCE have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
Have you ever wondered why the closest people in your life can a lot of times be quite different from the way you are? God sometimes does this to have us work at BEING PATIENT WITH OUR DIFFERENCES. In the Love chapter of the Bible, the first word used to describe LOVE is PATIENCE. (1 cor. 13:4)
Galatians 5:22 (NLT) tells us that patience is a gift from God that comes by way of the Holy Spirit. Just like we train our muscles to get stronger to make lifting weight and exercising a lot easier, we have to train ourselves to be patient so that every obstacle that we encounter in life will be easier to handle.
God made us different on purpose so that we will have opportunities to learn patience. I believe that thats the key to loving unconditionally, God sure was patient with us through 42 generations of leaders until He sent His son to finish the work, and restore the relationship between man and God.
Prayer: Thank you for being Patient with us God, I pray that u will continue to develop patience in us so that we can show the same patience to our fellow love ones, and enemies. THATS TRUE LOVE – CROSS IT UP INC. – changing lives, building futures. – Jonathan L. Burton
