The meaning of patience: the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset:
The word patience appears throughout the bible. It appears 34 times in the King James Version
Having patience in these trying times can be challenging. We have become a society of rush, instant, and immediate. And we seem unable to except nothing less! How did we lose our lives in this business we call life? We blinked and time rushed by...As we turned our heads so did our hearts. Many have turned their backs on God Himself. It has taken a pandemic to get us back to basics and simple values.
We are seeing love ones being lost. We are seeing our world in crisis. Many of us are now scared to live life. We all are called to distance ourselves from others... We can only love from afar?? We must tolerate a six-foot rule. We are living in a world where we must adorn gloves, face mask, and wipe, wipe. It seems like we are living in the twilight zone. However not all is lost, there is a silver lining. We have been forced to reevaluate our hearts and place the importance of life where it should have been all along ... God, family, friends, and a united world.
The world as we know it has come to a sudden STOP. Is our patience with God and the ones that are allowed in our personal space being tested??? We have been forced to stay inside. We have been forced to stop and look within.

Now is the time to rebuild life and our relationships. Along with placing our trust and love for God first. His love has never wavered, He has been patiently waiting for all his children. He has been diligently calling us one by one. But are we quieting our minds and listening?? Truly listening?
We are witnessing the biggest revival and outpour of love and prayers to our Heavenly Father, His Amazing Son, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit. You see we are the ones that are impatient with God!
When we face catastrophic or challenging, moments in our lives that is when most of us look to God for comfort and answers. We become impatient and look up and say what are you waiting for? Fix this? I need you!
However, I believe God has always been patiently waiting!!! He will not give up until each one of his children are present and accounted for!! Are you the one He is waiting for? Are you listening?? His children are gathering. He is patiently waiting... He adores you and offers you an unconditional love that is far beyond our human understanding.

It’s Him! it’s always Him
It's time to make your move, time is precious and life can change in the blink of an eye. Choices ??
So, the LORD must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help. NLT
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end
“Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.” Psalms 37:7
