Fruits of the Spirit: Patience

 Fruits of the Spirit: Patience

DAY THREE: PATIENCE

"But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."--Romans 8:25
"I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary."--Revelations 2:3

There are many fruits of the Spirit, but the characteristic trait of Patience is one that takes a long time to produce. In its very nature of waiting and enduring, we find ourselves growing tired. But God says to take hope! We will not see all that God is laying before us, and He wants us to have the stamina to endure this race He has set before us. Another part of patience is trusting in our Lord and trusting in His word. Patience takes time. One of the things I have grown to realize is that it does not mean to just sit and wait. You can be actively doing all that God wants you to do AND have patience while doing what He has called you to do. Get on your feet and show patience in action.

PATIENCE

Definition of patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.
Other synonyms are forbearance, tolerance, restraint, resignation.


THE TASK TODAY: Keep pressing forward. God does not want us to sit and wait. He wants us to grow our patience in action. Patience is a quality of self-restraint or of not giving way to anger, even in the face of provocation; it is attributed to both God and man and is closely related to mercy and compassion. We can be examples to others of how to move through trials and tribulations with patience, no matter what, continuing to hold onto the hope we have in the return of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

Image
  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
