Patience

    Patience... do we have enough. Are we patient with everyone or just the people we love. We have to be patient with everyone and everything.
    Sometimes we are impatient at the wrong times. Like when we are impatient with God or someone and their salvation. But we have to realize that this is God’s time and not ours.
    The Bible tells us that those who become impatient will become angry and foolish. Why because anger can make us do foolish things. And to be patient is of the lord.
Ecclesiastes  7:9 
“Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools.”
    The word of God also tells us that we are to be humble and patient with one another for this will show love to one another.
Ephesians 4:2 
“with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love”
    We need to patient with God, but often we are not. The Bible says that we are to stand before God and be in patience. We are supposed to be patient when people go in wicked ways and reframe from evil and those who have hope in God will inharret his land.
Psalm 37:7-9
“Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.”
    The last thing that I am going to  mention is that love is kind and patient and if we are to show love we are to be to be kind and patient, not to be jealous or boastful.

1 Corinthians 13:4 
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant”
