What to Do When You Don't Know What to Doনমুনা
Choosing humility isn’t easy. Responding to someone who frustrates us with gentleness isn’t typically our initial reaction. And even patience with the people in our lives we like can be a struggle sometimes!
But Paul reminds us to do just that in our interactions with other people. He isn’t just trying to make life difficult. Paul knows that when we live at peace with each other, we have peace inside of ourselves. And so fighting to love one another, and choosing humility and gentleness and patience isn’t just something that helps the people who receive it. It helps us become more gentle, patient, humble and loving people. If we want to show God’s love to others—the kind of love He gives to us—we have to make every effort to lead with humility, gentleness, and patience. And the effort will be worth it when we see the difference it makes not just in our hearts, but in the hearts of those around us as well. This week, make a list of ways that you can remind yourself to be more patient in your interactions with others.
