How tolerant are you? How tolerant is God??

Good morning all!! Yes, a great day to be alive in Jesus Christ our LORD!!! Remember, STOP-DROP-PRAY! Why is it when we pray, we become frustrated and sometimes angry that "GOD DOES NOT ANSWER?" Probably because we are marching on 'our' time and not God's. Also, since we are not puppets, many times we have to run amuck before we return to God's will.

Romans 2:4 "Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?"

In HIS kindness, God holds back His judgment, giving people time to turn from their sin. It is easy to mistake God's patience for approval of the wrong way we are living. Self-evaluation is difficult and it is even more difficult to bring ourselves to God and let Him tell us where we need to change. However, as Christians we must ask God to point out our sins, so that He can heal them. We need to be amazed at God's patience with us as much as we are amazed at God's patience with others.

We need to humble ourselves and let God be in total control. Is it easy? No!! Besides doing the obvious: STOP-DROP-PRAY - we also need to be in the word. If you have a Christian emblem on the back of your car.......do you always drive in a Christian manner? A point to ponder! Love you all! Tell someone about Jesus Christ today.

In Christ's Love and Grace
