Isn't it strange... many a times we are caught valuing the things more than people;
For example :
our mobile phone, our laptop, our all the i-
our house, our land, our building
our car, our credit card, our bank account...
and etc...
When we truly know that investing in the lives of people is more important.
Not only important but more rewarding;
But why is it that we don't have much patience?
i guess it is the return or the result many a times are almost not immediate at all or cannot be predicted.
For instances :
if you are reaching out a friend, how soon will he or she respond to you?
if you are discipling a member, how soon will he or she actually reach your goal?
if you are ...
it is so unlike ...
if you are an architect, you know for very sure by such a time your blueprint is ready.
if you are a builder or a contractor, you know for sure by such a time the building is completed.
if you are a farmer, you know for sure by such a season it bears fruit.
Well, the Lord teaches patience and longsuffering!
2 Tim 4:2
Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.
Heb 6:12
We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Jam 5:7
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.
Application :
Are you able to exercise a little bit more patience?
A little bit more time?
A little bit more care?
You will never know, probably the next second is the Miracle Point!
