If someone please make sure R.- read this and the other blogs I would appreciate it. R.- these are 1 scripture and spriritual words I have been reading on just thought I would send.
Matthew 7:7-8 "Ask it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyonewho asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
Patient Love
Of course you love your freinds and family. But, if you completely honest, you would have to admit that sometimes they really annoy you. Things would be so much easier if they did things the way you want, made the choices you believe are right. Okay, there may be some control issues there. But even for the best of us, there are times when patientce is a virture that isn't the top of our character traits. The conflict is the scripture tells us that real love is patient. It doesn't have control issues, it puts up with others' faults and while God doen't insist that we like other people's actions or choices, we must still love them. After All, Christ consistely models patient love for us. From a human view point we test His love with our constant disobence and focus on self, but He just keeps on loving...patiently loving.
