VERSE:
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak
and not to please ourselves.
-- Romans 15:1
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Romans+15:1
THOUGHT:
Dear friend of Jesus, have patience with those around you who
are not yet what God intends for them to be -- remembering also
that we are not yet what God intends for us to be. In the process
of "bearing with" their failings, you may just find that others are
more patient with your failings and more thankful for your
faithfulness. Of course, the goal of our being patient isn't to
benefit ourselves. Instead, we do it to bless others, knowing that
many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are hanging on to their
faith, hope, and love by the thinnest of threads. Let's never let
them go and never cause them to stumble!
PRAYER:
Tender Shepherd, give me more patience with those who are
struggling and who need your strength and my encouragement. Forgive
me for not noticing their struggles the way that you do. Help me
show them how patient you are as you perfect them in your holiness.
Thank you, O Lord, for your help in this area of my heart as I seek
to be a blessing to my brothers and sisters in grace. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
