It has been over 2000 years since Jesus
suffered on the cross for us and rose from the dead. Some may think he is not
coming back considering how long it has been but God doesn’t measure time as we
do. But it is not really about the time but that God’s heart wants us all to
repent and be saved. He grieves over every lost soul and celebrates with all
souls that are saved. His love and mercy give us opportunity after opportunity
to turn to Him. His patience is because of his love for us. I am eternally
grateful to God for his patience with me and that I finally was able to see the
truth. Patience is given to us by the Holy Spirit and love is at the core of
all the fruits the Holy Spirit gives us. So when the kids are making you crazy,
your boss is pushing your buttons or your spouse isn’t listening to you, it is
time to demonstrate your love for them with the patience the Holy Spirit can
give you.
2Peter
3:8-9 But do not forget
this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and
a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,
as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to
perish but everyone to come to repentance.
