“Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up” (1 Corinthians 13:4 NET). God is love (1John 4:8, 16), and it is possibly the first concept we try to impress upon the young minds of our children. But, we need to continually remind ourselves of that, as well. That takes patience. The kind of patience that comes from the love God’s Spirit puts in our heart, when we realize all the things He has done, is doing, and will do for our good. How can we not love Him and do it patiently forever?
“35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For Thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:35-39
Father, You are the God of All Patience to deal with all we’ve put You through. We thank You and are grateful You have not given up on us, even though we have been so slow to realize all the good You are and what You are doing for us. Glorify Your name. Take away our blindness that You would get the praise, honor, and glory for what You have done. Cause us to grow in our love and appreciation of You that we would not simply be a noisy, clanging cymbal without understanding of You. Lord Jesus, return quickly, we need You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen and amen.
