Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James 1:3-4
My patience is low and my faith is being questioned. I am sure of my testimony of the true gospel, I am doubtful of the activity of mankind. When watching the news, participating in conversation and listening to prominent people speak, I often wonder how to take it all in. I feel as if God is a side note these days. What a tragedy it is to think that so many would prefer to walk their own path, cutting down trees and weeds in the process, rather than take the path which has been cleared, cleaned and paved by our Father in Heaven. I am not a perfect person, most times I find myself in the weeds and have to turn and search for the right path again. Some of my beliefs I'm not sure are correct and I need to reach out to my Father through prayer and scripture to find the truth. I know my heart is believing and hopeful and I think that's why I crash and burn when I get so disappointed with the actions of people I am supposed to trust, respect and follow. I must find a stronger patience within me, become more knowledgable of issues I am passionate about and love freely, without judgement. I want to be perfect and entire, wanting nothing which (for me) means I've got to do exactly what I've just blogged.....AH, it's so stressful! Can I do it? I have to!
A scripture can inspire different people in different ways. The meaning I take from a scripture may be different from the meaning someone else takes from the exact same scripture. That's why I love the scriptures...always something to encourage, teach and inspire!
Peace out and read on!!!
