The Patience of God


     The seeds of our faith grow over time. We build trust in Jesus. He upholds us through the difficult times, comforts us, rejoices with us, gives us strength when we don’t know how to take another step, and always encourages us with hope. We witness the hope and belief of other brothers and sisters, using their example when we need to make use of their experience. It takes time. It takes patience. It takes a life time.

     Never will we reach perfection, but God’s work will continue, never giving up. Jesus is in no hurry. He will watch us fumble, fret and fall down time and time again.

     His patience never wears thin. His love and His faithfulness never end. He never grows weary. And because of that, we continue to grow in our faith. And we are blessed. His mercies and grace are everlasting.

But You, O’ Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness and truth. Psalm 86:15

     God will never let us go. He wants all of us to come to an understanding of Jesus  

The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wanting for any to perish, but all to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

Lord,

There are days we don’t understand. There are times we don’t feel Your presence. But You remain faithful, kind and patient with us, never giving up and You continue to love us no matter what. Thank You for sticking with us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
