About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"HOW PATIENT ARE YOU?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED UP THE WORD "PATIENCE" IN THE DICTIONARY? I WAS READING IN ROMANS 5:2 WHERE IT SAYS "TRIBULATION WORKS PATIENCE" AND I GOT TO THINKING THAT PATIENCE MUST MEAN MORE THAN I WAS THINKING. MY DEFINITION WAS "JUST COOL IT AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS".
I FOUND THAT MY DEFINITION WAS SO FAR OFF WHEN YOU RELATE IT TO THE PATIENCE OF JESUS. HE WAS TRULY PATIENT. THINK ABOUT HIM WHEN YOU READ THIS DEFINITION OF PATIENCE. "The suffering of afflictions, pain, toil, calamity, provocation or other evil, with a calm, unruffled temper; endurance without murmuring or fretfulness." I FOUND THIS IN NOAH WEBSTER'S 1828 DICTIONARY.
WE NEED TO TAKE HEED TO THE LAST PART OF THIS DEFINITION WHEN WE ARE PRAYING "endurance without murmuring or fretfulness." WE GET UPSET WHEN WE DON'T SEE THE ANSWER TO OUR PRAYERS IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES. DON'T PUT GOD IN A BOX. HE SEES THE WHOLE PICTURE AND HE LOVES US AND KNOWS WHEN WE NEED THINGS. HOWEVER, HE KNOWS THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE DON'T NEED AND IT WOULD BE HARMFUL TO US IF WE HAD THEM. SO WHEN YOU DON'T GET SOMETHING YOU PRAYED FOR, TRUST IN HIM....HE KNOWS. HE HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYER AND HE JUST SAID NO. THANK HIM FOR THAT ALSO.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
