LET GOD CHANGE YOU

Galatians 5:22-23 (CEB) “… the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control.”
PATIENCE (def):  the capacity for calmly enduring pain, trying situations, etc; tolerance and even-tempered perseverance (steady persistence; determined).

There are many times in our lives that we lose our patience. It is a temporary thing and it may not last long. It might be brought on by an unusually high level of stress or tension. It might also be brought on my fatigue or illness. Let’s face it, there are times when we lose it and have regret over our words or actions later. It happens to us all.

God, in His infinite wisdom, listed for us the fruit that we can and should bear in our lives by seeking each day to live a life that is pleasing to Him. Those fruit, or character qualities, are listed in Galatians by the Apostle Paul in his letter to them. If we allow God to move in our lives and change us a little more each day from the inside out, being attentive to these attributes that He desires us to have, we will achieve wonderful results. I think we can all agree as believers that showing patience in any given situation brings about a much more desirable result. A lack of patience can potentially escalate into something ugly and highly regrettable. The sting of words or actions done in a single moment, whether spoken or written, can never to taken back and all the apologies in the world simply will not erase it.

Surrender your emotions to God and allow His perfect work to be done in your life starting this very minute. There may be days when you question the wisdom of it, but in the end, you will be just a little bit more like Christ and that is never a bad thing.

WALK WITH THE KING AND BE A BLESSING!!
