Patience Needed

When irritated and upset
Do you complain and gripe and fret?
Or is your life controlled inside
Because in Jesus you confide?
When tempted to lose patience with others,
remember God's patience with you...
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not
envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up


Life can be frustrating, even exasperating. Yet, many times impatience centeredness in response to life's disappointments. Real love is pictured in the Bible as self sacrifice, and one demonstration of that love is patience towards other.

Sound impossible? It is, if we attempt it in our own strength. But as we pray for help, God provides us with patience that reflects His love even during frustrating circumstances.
