1 Corinthians 13:4
Amplified Bible
4 Love endures with patience and serenity, love is kind andthoughtful, and is not jealous or envious; love does not brag and is not proud or arrogant.
We all want this, but God multiplies what we give.
Dear friends, When God defines love for us, He starts, in order, with the building blocks. Since this is the foundation of Christianity, it is the first thing that we should start building. SO, a prime test of our faith, is learning and practicing patience which for recovery people also note the blend of it in Greek, with serenity!
I was just reminded of this as I plowed out our first major snow storm. Last year was a VERY tough year for snow plowing companies here. Many went out of business.
As I plowed out the first storm that really improved our balance sheet I was reminded of the patience that is needed here and with God. We survived last years plowing season, but were in the double digits on comparative losses, thousand of dollars. However, with this huge storm at the beginning of this season, our balance sheet is closer to even and down to single digits. So, I had to have just short of a year of patience in dealing with God.
How much patience do you have and how good are you working on it. It is also a matter of trusting God, is it not? You want enduring love, but how much have you given so that it multiplies back to you?
