When someone makes a mistake, how do you respond?
Do you call them out, get upset with them, and allow your anger and frustration to show? Do you talk bad about them behind their back?
Or do you approach them with gentleness and understanding?
Paul reminds Jesus followers that we are to be filled with patience and bear with one another in love.
The idea of bearing with one another implies that conflict and tension exists. Another way you could put it is - put up with one another.
We are to learn to love and show patience towards the people that drive us crazy.
Of course, that’s easier said than done.
Next time someone is driving you towards impatience, pause. Pray and ask God to give you patience at that moment and to treat the other person with love and kindness.
