Patience #3

"I, in my life, feeling like I've been walking for so long, I'm no longer in shape, cause I'm not getting any hard cardio! As she relayed this story to me, I recognized in me, the desire to run, but the Lord needs me to walk. The Lord has been preparing me for a while now, which I understand from blessings I've received and impressions given me. I don't know what that is, but whatever it is, i can only learn the things I'm learning, at a walk. Patience, my family, is a virtue. One that I have a very hard time with, but the Lord has a way of teaching me. The Lord has never ceased to bless me with what is most needful in my life. He knows me, and knows how and what I need to learn and will teach me perfectly.

Patience in the Lord, in what He is teaching me, is essential. Simply, because He CAN see the beginning from the end, and I CAN'T. He knows me perfectly. He knows all things perfectly and my pride and frustration is not going to make me walk any faster. In fact, it might make me slow down, because the Lord can't teach a hardened heart. Faith and trust in His timing, and teaching method are then what become explicitly important. Do we trust the Lord to make us perfect? I DO!! There are very few perfect beings, and i would only trust the perfect ones to show me the way. I just have to remember that, when I want to run!"
