The Patience of the Lord

The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.

Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
(Matt 18:26-27)


I can quote numerous verses from the Bible regarding the Patience of the Lord.

Never give up anytime in your life. Ask God for His patience, and you will find His forgiveness, grace and mercy rushing towards you.

Here the servant did not ask for forgiveness. He just asked his master to be patient with him. In turn, his master took compassion on him and forgave him all his debts.

He is not slack. He is patient towards all men, that they might be saved. The Lord on the Cross was patient towards those who nailed Him. He is patient with you.

Sometimes you may feel very tough to forgive someone for something they did to you. During those times, Ask God to fill you with His patience. Then God will be pleased with your request. He will fill you with His own patience, kindness and love. Also you will be filled with His mercy, grace and forgiveness. Then you can forgive your enemies. You can forgive others debts. God's living presence and peace will rule your heart and life.

Hallelujah!

Don't be deceived by the liar. Rejoice in the Lord!!
