GOD IS PATIENT WITH US
Romans 15:5 Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Whenever you are feeling a little (or a lot) impatient remember how patient God is with us. God is all knowing and therefore knows that our process of becoming Christlike is a growing and learning experience. If God was impatient He probably would have destroyed mankind a long time ago.
God does not condone or excuse sin and bad behavior but He is patient with us. He allows us to make some mistakes and helps us to learn from those mistakes. He lovingly chastens and corrects us to try and mold us into intruments of service that glorify Him.
We can see a perfect example of God's patience in Peter. He often spoke and acted without thinking much about it. Jesus responded to Peter's denial of Him with love, understanding and instructions for Peter to move on and do the work that he was chosen to do.
God is much more patient with you and me than we sometimes realize. When you begin to feel impatient just remember how patient God is with you.
