Have we been thinking about each other? Have we understood that each one has their own time? Or have we easily lost patience?
Today I would like to comment on a very interesting topic, which we often do not pay attention to!
Will you join me?
Self-control
“Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city.”
Proverbs 16:32
Self-control has to do with our ability to control our impulses, attitudes, behaviors and emotions. And it has everything to do with patience.
Unfortunately it is very easy and common for us to get stressed and lose patience with the people around us, doesn’t matter if they are relatives, friends or even people we do not know. In my point of view, this happens because of the selfishness that exists within us.
We always tend to think about ourselves before we think about other people. This is something of our nature and, consequently, we started to want everything to happen when and the way we want. Consequently, we tend to react in the wrong way to situations that are not as we wish. But that’s not how things are supposed to work, right?
The service
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,”
Philippians 2: 3
It is not new that we live in society; and the Bible speaks a lot about living in society and how we should act.
Because we live in society, we need to understand that the people around us also have needs, wants, difficulties and plans. In addition, it is essential to understand that the people around us are not like us. Each person has its time and is going through its own phase of life.
We cannot force someone to do something or learn something, simply because we learned that way or because it is easy or simple for us. Each person has its difficulties and, in most cases, the difficulty of the person next to you will not be the same as yours!
So we need to learn to respect, not just other people’s time, but mainly God’s time.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:”
Ecclesiastes 3: 1
Grace and Peace!
That’s quite true. We are all still on the “Potter’s Wheel.” Thank you Jesus Christ! 🙏🏽😇
Thanks Leo. Your message makes it to Canada, far away, yet so close. Love in Christ!

It is very hard when you are over extended and not in the best of health, to be patient most of the time. Need special grace.
I pray every day for patience; and when I loos it for a moment, I feel so sorry not only for the other, but specially for myself, that I have been selfish again. May God forgive me for my impatience.
Thanks for the messge. Self control is much needed in everyone.
Perfect timing for this lesson.!! Not only in MY personal life, but it seems rest of our nation would benefit by this as well
I like this
Good post!
Good Words That Came Just In Time For Me.
Better to walk with Pedro, punching or Judas kissing! Text! little depth, because people do not care about others precisely because they think about themselves and use it to test the patience of others. Being patient is great, but don’t be silly! The word also says that we should not be foolish and that we should rebuke the other for thinking about the act before doing it.
Thank you for that word for the whole world need to live my those words, I know I do. Praise God 🙌🙌
I need more subjects like this it makes me feel so good… I love this app
Tanks for this information, Grace and Peace, amen.
Proverbs 3:4-6
In all we do let us remember we do it for the glory of God and not ourselves
Amen
In my case i dong hace patience anda i get frustrated very easy in learning God take care of me and my needs so please Lord help me have the same with other in Jesus name….
Amen that message spoke to Mr loud and clear. I really have to be patient with others. And my self. Keep my family lifted up in PRAYERS 🙏.
Thank you for words of true wisdom. It is much needed in the times we are facing today.
I have to learn to be more patient with others and myself.
I really needed this devotional today. With all we are going through, sometimes life overwhelms us, and we withdraw into self and forget about the fact that others have basically the same needs we have. We need the present of God in our lives to show us that we need each other, in a time such as this. Let us open up our minds and hearts, come together as one in Christ, and help each other to weather these storms of life.
This message came at a perfect time for me.Patience is a hard virtue to pursue,but I am learning,slowly,but learning none the less.Thank you for the message and God bless each of you.
A message I definitely needed to hear and I thank you. Lord I am a work in progress and I thank you for loving me for who I am. You’re worthy to be praised. Amen
Love Defeats All.
Amen

Thank you Jesus for your word, give us more of your grace to be patience with you and our fellow human beings and please Lord, draw us more closer to you, IJN AMEN
Amen,
Reading that at the morning, was just a confirmation of I had on my mind. Thank you so much for sharing this small reflection. May the spirit of God enable us to be patient with all around us, that its fruits may be seen. It’s just that we dress up in acts of kindness.
Thanks for sharing. We need self control in all our dealings with humanity. I have mirrored myself in the message and have come short. More grace 🙌
Thank you so much, Amen! I am experiencing this situation for a few days already, I woke up and red this, felt instant relief, wish you blessed and blissful day!
Amen !

To God be all Glory.

We need patients in real life but because of the difficulties and worryiness in life we lost patients and turn our way instead of seeking for God
Amen 🙏
Praise God 🙏 for His living words to guide us in our daily life.
Thank you brother Leo for inspiring me to evaluate myself and make the best of my life.
And the comment I just posted, the tenth line should read (indures) through every circumstance. Not (outdoors) God only knows. God bless you all may the Lord richly bless this blog. And bless the hands of everyone who God calls by his Spirit to this blog to all the spiritual uplifting what a blessing it is to be a partaker of something so great and fantastic and everlasting. It all belongs to God. Amen thank you all.
It is God’s will that we love others; without love nothing else matters (see 1Corinthians 13: 1-3). Love is More than A feeling; it is choosing to behave and loving ways. It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, produced in our lives as we yield to God. The Bible defines it this way: “Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude… Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and indoors through every circumstance” (1 Corinthians 13: 4-7).
This passage is a description of how God loves us. As we begin to absorb his love, we we’ll find ourselves reaching out to love others. No one loves perfectly, but we must learn how to love. We can ask God to help us love others and stop waiting for them to love us. We cannot expect to be good at loving right away; we should be patient as God’s love grows within us and He teaches us how to love. When we choose to act and loving ways, the emotions will follow, and we will find that our love will be returned. May the Lord of Heaven and Earth watch over us and bless us all who labor in the ministry of Jesus Christ salvation for all who accept his Son as their Lord & Savior. Amén
Love it. Thanks and God bless 🙏💓
Really the message is for me. I really need this patience now. Thank you for the wonderful God’s message.
Thanks for the reminder 😊 In season like this… Patience is really hard to give.
Just exactly what i am going through this week. I Really needed this. Thank you Lord for your word.
Hallelujah and thank you for this very timely msg. God spoke to me through it today.
I have reading this blog, most of the time, but there is still a very troubling issue. I have seen advertisements right in the middle of the post and some are far from Christian. To see ads at all in the text is not good, but those counter Christian is very disturbing.
Thank you my sister in Christ Jesus, yes I see the advertisements there. Though we know that God’s enemies will always try and corrupt good judgment and values. We as believers in Christ Jesus are keep our focus on Him & not it. Satan works 24 hrs a day and 365 days a year. So part time Christians cannot beat full time devils. Focus on God’s promises and may the Lord of Heaven & Earth richly bless you and your household. G.G.
