Love Is Patient

Joyce Meyer – Dec 04, 2024

Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.

 1 Corinthians 13:4 (AMPC)

This morning I was praying about walking in love and asking God to always help me do so, when suddenly He put two people on my heart who have personalities that make me impatient.

Love is displayed and can be seen through a variety of character traits, but the first one listed is patience. I am a bottom-line person, and these two individuals are extremely detailed. In order to tell me anything, they feel compelled to tell me many details that I don’t need and don’t want to hear.

The Lord reminded me that the first character trait listed that describes love is “patience,” and if I want to walk in love, I need to be willing to listen to them a little more than I do. Ouch! That hurt, but I needed it! I am very certain that my personality can be frustrating to others at times, and since I want them to be patient with me, it is important for me to be patient with them. Let’s always remember that we reap what we sow!

Prayer of the Day: Help me, Lord, to be the kind of person You want me to be at all times—one that imitates Your behavior, walks in love, and is patient with those around me, amen
