The most important thing about Jesus is having Him in your heart; inviting Him in, giving Him full access to every room, talking with Him about everything, sharing all your secrets with Him, asking His advice on everything, and letting Him decorate how He wants to. Then constantly working on your private relationship with Him, figuring out how He speaks to you, so that you fully understand each other. This is going to be different for each person. He is not the author of fear or confusion. He will guide you through love if you let Him. The more you grow, the deeper your relationship with Him gets, the more you can share His love…
“Love is patient.” I Corinthians 13:4
The Greek word used here for patient . . . means
“taking a long time to boil.”
Think about a pot of boiling water . . .
Water boils quickly when the flame is high.
It boils slowly when the flame is low.
Patience “keeps the burner down.”
Patience isn’t naive.
It doesn’t ignore misbehavior.
It just keeps the flame low.
It waits. It listens . . .
This is how God treats us.
And, according to Jesus,
this is how we should treat others.
