Dear God… #Arise

patienceRight! Hahaha

We’re given so many opportunites…

But the actual patience doesn’t seem to be working :)

Patience and peace.  Together they slow down our thought process, and quiet or mind….

Patience = LIFE :)

“1.     The quality of being patient, as the bearing of provocation annoyance, misfortune, or pain without complaint loss of temper, irritation, or the like.

2.     An ability or WILLINGNESS to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay.;

3.     Quiet, steady perseverance; even temped care; diligence.

When you feel you have to figure everything out at once, the walls start to close in, feeling of fear and pressure are not far behind.

Jesus came to bring us peace… to seal our hearts and our lives with His Salvation and forgiveness….

We must learn to let Him have our fears. our pain,  and our struggles, and simply call on Him…

“For we do not have a high priest who is unabe to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are – yet He did not sin.”

Hebrews 4:15

 

When we daily Lay the struggle at His feet, we move  in harmony and love…

We lay it down, and then we take care of our people…

Being patient is a super power…

It creates calm in our homes, takes the focus off of our temporary troubles and helps us to be better people…

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you.Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.”

James 4:8

Trusting God means drawing near to Him…

Trusting God is where our devotion and hope are put to rest…

Leaning on Him.  Then being patient while He works things our for your good…

“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.”

Proverbs 3: 5-6

He has your heart right where you are.  He sees you.  He knows you…And that is the gift of being a child of the Most High!

Learn to be  patient in times of trouble or uncertainty, and you will always be blessed with God’s love overflowing….

When we are not patient, we are full of self pride, focused on our wants, and we destroy the love that surrounds our hearts…

God calls us to be better than that… To be kind.  Gentle.  And more and more like Him…

And those fruits are what continually free our souls and breath life into our days…

So rock on friend…

Be patient.

Be kind.

Live in Love,

Lisa
