THE SAYING IS TRUSTWORTHY, AND DESERVING OF FULL ACCEPTANCE, THAT CHRIST JESUS CAME INTO THE WORLD TO SAVE SINNERS, OF WHOM I AM THE FOREMOST. BUT , I RECEIVED MERCY FOR THIS REASON, THAT IN ME, AS THE FOREMOST, JESUS CHRIST MIGHT DISPLAY HIS PERFECT [PATIENCE] AS AN EXAMPLE TO THOSE WHO WERE TO BELIEVE IN HIM FOR ETERNAL LIFE. TO THE KING OF THE AGES, IMMORTAL, INVISABLE, THE ONLY GOD, BE HONOR AND GLORY FOREVER AND EVER. AMEN 1 TIMOTHY 1; 15-17 PATIENCE. THE PERFECT PATIENCE THAT JESUS CHRIST DISPLAYED, IS THIS SOMETHING WE CAN ACHIEVE? PERFECT PATIENCE; NO MATTER WHAT BEFALLS US, OR GETS IN OUR WAY, NO MATTER WHO BRINGS EVIL AND VIOLENCE TO US, SHOULD WE JUST CRITIZISE HIM WHO BRINGS THIS UNHOLY DEED TO OUR FAMILY AND THEN LET IT BE FORGOTTEN? WE MUST ASK OURSELVES TO BE PATIENT WE MUST ACT IN ACCORDANCE OF THE WORD, WE MUST FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE EXHIBITED BY JESUS, WE MUST FORGIVE. DURING OUR ATTEMPTS AT BEING PATIENT HOWEVER, ANGER MIGHT BE THE COURSE OUR TONGUES TAKE. THE PERPETRAYER MIGHT TRY TO DEFEND THEIR ACT AND THE VICTIM MIGHT EVEN DEFEND HIM, SO THEN IF WE ARE PATIENT THERE IS LESS ARGUMENT FROM THEM AS TO YOUR OWN WRONG DOINGS. FORGIVENESS WILL ALEAYS BE THE HARDEST THING FOR US TO DO. WE WILL PROTECT OUR OWN TO THE DEATH AND THOSE WHO DO HARM TO THEM MUST BE PATIENT IF THEY EXPECT FORGIVENESS, SO IT GOES BOTH WAYS EACH MUST BE PATIENT, WORDS OF DEFENSE FALL ON DEAF EARS, CLAIMS TO RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE USELESS AND SELFSERVING, FORGIVING A MAN WHO HAS DONE WRONG JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE IS GOOD IS LIKE FORGIVING A LEOPARD FOR HIS SPOTS, IT DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING, A NEW COURSE A NEW DIRECTION AND ROAD TRAVLED IS THE WAY TO GO FOR THIS MAN, THEN THOSE WHO ARE PATIENTLY WAITING TO STOP THEIR WORRY FOR WHOM HE HAS HARMED, CAN FORGIVE. UNTIL THEN THE FLESH WILL DOUBT, SUSPECT, AND CRITIZISE. GOD BLESS THE FORGIVER AND THOSE WHO NEED THEIR FORGIVENESS.
