Meditation for PATIENCE

Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love

EPHESIANS 4:2 (NIV)

Good News

By choosing to be patient with others, we are choosing to allow God to work it out in His ultimate plan. When we choose to give grace and see that the other person is growing; God is giving us an opportunity to grow as we allow Him to work on them as He also works on us. By choosing to be forbearing in anger, bitterness and our sense of justice in situations; we are choosing to wait on others in the same way the Lord patiently waits on us.  Worship Him in the waiting and praise Him for gifting us His love and mercy. This is how we stretch our spiritual muscle; FORBEARANCE.

A Prayer for FORBEARANCE

Heavenly Father, I am asking in Your grace, that You would help me to overcome my impatience and sense of justice with others and help me instead to humbly dress myself in the same long suffering that You have so graciously given to me. I am choosing forbearance in love as You work all things out in Your ultimate plan. Father, I pray that you continue to work on me and enable me to grow in grace and to develop a patient spirit and humility of heart. I pray this in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, Amen
