His Love is Patient

Love is patient. (I Corinthians 13:4 CSB)

Lord, I’m so grateful for Your patience when I lag behind or am slow to respond to certain convictions. So often I hear You telling me to do things, yet I get around to them when I feel like it rather than when You say. At the same time, I’m guilty of being impatient with my family and coworkers – they don’t move fast enough to fit my schedule. Please help me to be patient and kind toward others today to the same degree that I need patience and kindness myself. Keep my heart humble and help me to remember that love has the power to heal the most stressful and broken situations. In Your name.
Amen.
