PATIENCE
Patience is a very rare virtue in
these days. Government and commerce all run on an endless treadmill of deadlines-getting
the product out or the service delivered, no matter the cost. God, on the other hand, who
made each one of us and everything in the world has no deadlines to meet. He has the time
to shape and mold us into the unique form of Love He intends. Just as a newborn baby
cannot become a mature adult in 24 hours; so we must be patient with ourselves and our
brethren.
Each experience we go through
provides learning and wisdom for our spiritual development. Patience is the rudder
that guides our ship in stormy seas to safety in the harbor.
I Corinthians 13:4 - Love endures
long and is patient and kind...
Prayer: Dear Father help me to be
calm and at rest as I wait on Your Divine perfection in me. Amen
