1 Corinthians 13:4

“Love is patient, love is kind…”

Patience-the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset

 

Kind-having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature

 

Patience is an attitude, Kindness is an action!

 

God provides the circumstances, you provide the response

 

Even Almighty Clip

 

1. Discover a bigger perspective

Proverbs 19:11

“A man’s wisdom gives him patience; 
       it is to his glory to overlook an offense.”

Romans 5:3-4

“Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope.”

 

2. Deepen your Love

 

Lack of patience says more about you, it says you are irritable, but why are you irritable?

 

You deepen your love capacity, by understanding what it is that is stopping you from loving… You have to figure it out.

 

3. Depend on Jesus Power

Colossians 1:11

that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, to exercise every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy,

Kindness is love in action

It is impossible to show love in a hurry…. we have to slow down.
