Patience  — “You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity.” (Colossians 3:12-14, The Passion Translation)

Patience doesn’t always come naturally; it takes time. How do we get patience? Trials and testing is what prefects our patience. Forgiveness is also a big part of learning patience. Sometimes it’s the small things in life that produce more patience and forgiveness than the bigger offenses!  Solomon told us that it’s the “small foxes that spoil the vine.” (Song of Solomon 2:15)

Let’s allow our patience to grow in the garden of our forgiveness!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
