Patience Freely Offered

“The Spirit produces…..patience.” Galatians 5:22

If you find patience hard to give, you might ask the question.  How infiltrated are you with God’s patience?  You’ve heard about it.  Read about it.  Perhaps underlined Bible passages regarding it.  But have you received it?  The proof is in your patience.  Patience deeply received results in patience freely offered…

God does more than demand patience from us; He offers it to us.  Patience is a fruit of His Spirit.  It hangs from the tree of Galatians 5:22:

“The Spirit produces the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”

Have you asked
God to give you some fruit?  Well I did once, but… But what?  Did you, h’m, grow impatient?  Ask Him again and again and again.  He won’t grow impatient with your pleading, and you will receive patience in your praying.

When You Face a Wall of FearDo you face a wall of fear Christian quote

When You Face a Wall of Fear

Perhaps standing before you is a wall of fear. 

Brick upon brick of anxiety and dread. Haunting you are the kings of confusion.  Thanks to them, you’ve struggled with your identity and destiny.  You’ve bought the lie that life has no absolutes or purpose.  As a child of God, it comes down to a simple decision to believe and receive your position as an heir of God and coheir with Christ.

“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. ” (1 John 4:17).

Our inheritance is every bit as abundant as that of Jesus himself.  What he receives, we receive.  What message are you carving on that wall of fear?  What words are you writing?  Choose hope, not despair.  Choose life, not death.  Choose God’s promises.  You’re a new person so live like one!  Because God’s promises are unbreakable our hope is unshakable!
