dr. bill sent me this thought yesterday in my email, and i have been very frustrated and impatient lately with circumstances and people in my life... i want to post this today to remind myself to be full of humility, grace and mercy... to treat others the same way i wish to be treated. may your focus be on humility, grace and mercy today as well as you trust in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with oneanother in love.
-- Ephesians 4:2
THOUGHT: "You mean I have to put up with that!?" There are those folks inlife about whom the saying is true: "They are the grit out of whichwe are to fashion our pearl." But our great example in thischallenge is Jesus. Think of what he had to put up with in his 12disciples. Remember how transformational his patience andgentleness with them was. Can we dare to do less?
PRAYER: Give me strength and patience, O God, that I may be as loving,gentle and patient with others as Jesus was with people during hisearthly ministry and you have been with me. In the name of Jesus,I pray. Amen.
