Howpatientareyou?

Over the years I’ve had people tell me that they didn’t have any patience so they asked God to give them more. I say watch what you ask God for!! He is a teaching God and His teaching patience may be more than you bargained for. All I know for sure is I’m glad that my God is patient with me! And He is patient with you. God is being patient with you right now, especiallyifyou’veheardthegospelandyouhaven’t yet trusted Christ. Ifyouhaven’t placed your faith in Jesus yet, God is waitingpatiently.That’swhyJesushasn’treturned. That’s why you’re still alive. Godispatient. Will you turn to Jesus today, before it’s too late? Just some food for thought!!

“The Lord isnotslowinkeepinghis promise, as someunderstandslowness.Heispatient with you,notwanting anyone to perish, but everyone to cometorepentance.”(2Peter3:9)
