Love God Greatly - 1 & 2 PeterSample

Peter writes that is easy to lose heart and forget that Christ is returning for His people. But instead, Peter encourages believers to hold on to their faith and the promises of God. He adds that it is the result of the Lord's deliberate patience and fierce grace that He has not returned yet. He wishes to give everyone time to repent. Therefore, we should be patient and diligent in this fallen world to persevere and share with the lost until He returns. Father God, I thank You for Your patience and Your desire to give everyone an opportunity to know You intimately. Remind me of Your patience with me whenever I am anxious, restless, or irritable with others. Remind me of Your desire that everyone be saved when I dismiss one of Your creations as beyond all hope. Remind me that Your time is not my time, and You can accomplish the impossible at any time, at any place, in any means that You see fit. In Jesus' name. Amen.
