"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." ~Ephesians 4:2
Patient? Me, patient? I'd like to think I have patience...most of the time. But family and friends can get on your nerves. Their annoying little habits can eat at you. You can lose it. Control? We just don't want to give it up. We want to control how things are done. And it usually needs to be done...yesterday.
So we bark orders. Go faster....go slower...Pick that up....Put that down...Be quiet...Speak up...Do it like this...No not like that... Here let me do it...Real love is patient. God's love is patient. God love doesn't have control issues. His love doesn't see the faults. He just patiently loves. He loves us all faults and all.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud."
1 Corinthians 13:4
