1 Corinthians 13:4 New International Version (NIV) – Love is patient, ……
Patience is simply the ability to wait for a thing or something with the hope that it will get better. Have you realized how some of our parents and God Himself, is patient with us? Sometimes, we really know we are misbehaving or fooling sometimes, but because of the patience of God or our parents, they are still able to contain us, even at the point of calling us to eat.
Our perfect example of love or a Person we have to look up to is Christ Jesus or God Himself. We know, know and know-how holy and righteous our God is but just look around and see how wicked and sinful man is in this world, but God has been patient enough to contain man, and still showering His mercy on man. That is how patient God is, because He has the power to destroy the earth like how He did in the days of Noah or Sodom and Gomorrah.
That is the same way, we have to live in this life because we need to walk as God is or how Christ did. Are you patient with your parents? Are you patient with your siblings? Are you patient with your school mates? Are you patient with your school? What do you do or react when someone insults you? Are patient with such person or you insult him or her back?
We have to reflect the love of Father in heaven, Sweetheart, have patience and be patient, for there is a saying that goes “patience moves mountains”.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your patience, for me, my family, friend, nation, loved ones, even the patience for this entire word or earth. I now pray in the Precious Name of Jesus, that will walk in the patience of God because I was created in His Image, amen!
