"Patience"
Blessed are those of you who exhibit patience in your daily lives, because patience is something that not everyone has and that is often needed. It is not that it is impossible to achieve, or else there would be no one who has it, but there are those who do of course have it at one time or another. Patience is one of those attributes that has to be somewhat cultivated and nurtured because it does not just naturally occur in a person's life. As most of you know, it is something that comes after a whole lot of practice, trials, and tests of faith. Sometimes, when there is a need for patience, one can see the need before the need becomes evident to others. Patience is also something that is fortified by faith because rarely does patience without faith last for any length of time. Patience is also something that will help people get through those times when it seems that life is against them, which again is where faith becomes the anchor.
As you make your way this day My beloved, let patience be a major element of your life. I just need you to remember that without faith being an important ingredient in your life, patience is sure to be very limited. In your walk with The Lord JESUS, there are going to be times when patience is expected, because not everything occurs when you might expect it or want it. There are times when patience is needed to help you learn a lesson before it is too late. Too often in this world, impatience tends to land people in a lot of trouble, and oh what a sad thing that turns out to be. Those who learn to be patient tend to be calm and at ease, even when times are tough, while impatience tends to make people anxious and nervous. Now may you be one who has learned to be patient through all things, in and through JESUS CHRIST your Lord and Savior.
AMEN
