Love suffers long and is kind. I Corinthians 13:4
Love suffers long and is kind. I Corinthians 13:4
Patience is a Godly virtue that many, myself included did not receive at birth, but throughout my journey with Jesus I have had many circumstances that gradually built within me the long-suffering nature of God!
That doesn't mean I have arrived yet but like the apostle Paul I keep pressing on trusting God to develop in me the Divine nature and character of the Most High! Life is hard sometimes and there are many ways God uses our life experiences to build within us His character qualities. Jesus, although fully God, was also fully human, but He made a way for us as our example in that He was tempted in all things but without sin!
It is amazing how much patience I have until I get behind the wheel of a car. Almost immediately I am tested by someone who is crawling along at 20 MPH in a 55 MPH zone or stopped at a light and then it changes and they are on their phone! Not so on the lake where people are so happy and kind, but when they get in their car another beast appears to again wreak havoc on the highway!
But may the God of all grace who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered awhile, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. I Peter 5:10,11
