The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (II Peter 3:9 ESV)
Patience
I am not patient with my dog. Not always.
I am not patient with other drivers. Not always.
I am not patient with the weather. Not always.
I am not patient with my own imperfections. Not always.
But Jesus is.
My pets are not patient with me. Not always.
Other drivers are not patient with me. Not always.
The weather is not patient with me. Not always.
My faults, errors, and sins are not patient with me. Not always.
But Jesus is.
We need someone to be patient with us, demonstrate patience for us, teach us patience, and protect us from our own impatience.
Only Jesus does those things.
