Patience
by Barbara Philbrook
In your
patience you possess your soul,
therefore the perfecting of our patience should be our
goal.
God has a
very unique way of developing patience in each one he
considers his own,
and to develop that patience he often puts us through
things where we feel all alone.
The trials
and problems we face and through which we can remain on
our feet,
the temptations we come to and then defeat.
These all
contribute to the development of patience in each one of
us,
we can be conquerors if we call on God and accept his
guidance without any fuss.
Things
aren't always meant to be finished yesterday,
although in our sinfulness we expect them to come out
that way.
I've heard
it said before that anything worth having is worth
waiting to get,
that means excepting the wait without giving in to fret.
The joy of
knowing that no matter what we say or do,
that things will be done in God's time is one that will
bring thrills to you.
We mustn't
try to rush what God intends for you or me,
when the time is right God will make known our Destiny.
In the
meantime the things in life that He brings us through,
are perfecting our character so we'll be ready when our
Destiny is ready for me and for you!
Thank You
Father for having for each of us a Destiny,
and Thank You Father for the things in my life that build
character and patience in me.
