Brother Clifford wilson Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:32 PM Patience is a virtue of humility. Patience is kind, gentle, reliable and waiting. Knowing the word of God would be just as learning the word of God. I like that adage; I only know Christ crucified. Everyday Christ teaches me something new. Today we must be patience in our relationships, family member, wives, husbands and friends. We must have forgiveness in our hearts. Without a forgiving heart we are slow to hear, fast to speak and fast to anger. Human nature submitting to Godly nature. Godly nature overcoming fleshly nature. renew.org/what-is-patience. Patience in the Bible: Colossians 3:12: "Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering."

Jewells Posted Tuesday at 07:05 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:05 PM Q36. (James 1:19-20; Colossians 3:13) What is the relationship of patience to humility? What in us motivates impatient outbursts? What does it take for God to work in us "long-suffering"? Why is forbearance so vital in a marriage? It takes awhile for situations to develop or play out. It takes time to understand people since we are so different. Even the differences between males and females, adults and children, motivations, occupations, maturity levels, even disabilities all require understanding. If we are commanded to love one another, it requires us to understand one another, to meet the needs, make things impartial, to accomplish tasks, to meet time schedules. A plan can be developed based on the understanding of the people involved and the talents involved or tasks to accomplish. Patience is a must and patience is a part of humility as all is taking place. Patience means that perfection may be desired but may not happen. We strive for excellence, and we accept with gratitude what the Lord does among us as we work together. In order to have unity, we must have patience. We won't see perfection until we get to heaven. If we have understanding of what others are going through, we see they are doing the best they can in the place they find themselves. This ongoing compassion develops long suffering in us. To preserve unity we must have forbearance. Everyone sees life through their own eyes, their perception is theirs. We have to appreciate the ways we are the same, and respect the differences as well. This takes forbearance, endurance. In the midst of differences, we can still prevail and keep unity in our faith. In our day and age, it seems that differences are abounding. I heard of marriages breaking up over whether they got vaccines or whether to vaccinate the children. In this attitude of humility and patience and forbearance, I think we can work some of these difficult events in a way that would glorify God.

Patience is part of the humble life, shows that time is of no essences. What in us motivates impatient outbursts? Mostly if someone is short temper and don't have self-control. What does it take for God to work in us "long-suffering"? Nothing we must only follows where HE leads us and obeying what HE says and want to do in us. Why is forbearance so vital in a marriage? We are must have a total understanding of each other respect that embrace love, honesty, caring ext. results to forbearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
