JOURNAL/WAITING ON THE LORD........WAITING ON YOU

JOURNAL/WAITING ON THE LORD




“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and ACTS on them will be like a WISE MAN who built his house on ROCK” Matthew 7:25




DO YOU KNOW Patience really is a VIRTUE/it really is a BLESSING to bite your tongue and be PATIENT just a little bit longer-and if your really BUILD your life on the TEACHINGS of Jesus-you are PATIENT and you have built your life on ROCK


GOOD INTENTIONS are one thing-but we really NEED to BRING them ALIVE in our attitudes and deeds/it is EASY to have nice thoughts-but not so easy to BE PATIENT during tough times and TURN our nice thoughts into the ACTIONS of our lives


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and GREAT day to be PATIENT-until GOD is ready for us to actually turn our nice thoughts into the ACTIONS OF OUR LIVES


that was Jesus' PHILOSOPHY-and that IS to be OUR PHILOSOPHY too

Until the day of Christ Jesus” Philippians 1:3-6
