Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
Let me be perfectly honest with you. If you are going to spend any time around people at all, your patience is going to be tested, because people will test your patience. In fact, the people you love the most will test your patience the worst and if you have been married more than 3 days, you know what I am talking about. I have to been honest with you, the person I am the most impatient with in this world is the person I love more than anyone in this world and that's my wife.
Sometimes I have to remind myself of what the Bible says in I Corinthians 13:4,
"Love is patient."
If you have difficult people you have to deal with who try your patience the only way you will ever learn to be patient with them is to love them. The Bible is very plain that we are to love everybody. If we are to love everybody, then with God's help we are to be patient with everybody, which is exactly why the Bible plainly says in I Thessalonians 5:14,
"Be patient with everyone."
