I mention in my recent posts that I'm currently taking up TFV class in our local church and it was an amazing experience to learn and to refresh the applications I learned during Victory Weekend. One of the topic I want to share today which I believe God has revealed to me in the past weeks its "Forbearance". In our walk with God, we all have struggles and we are not perfect. However, for some our own imperfections are acceptable and we can easily forgive ourselves for little impatience and short-comings. We know our own weakness and strengths but in times others have failed you how would you react? May it be, someone closely attached to you, someone you love, or maybe someone who is a Christian. How should we take it? do we need to rebel? do we take a stand for something because we are misunderstood? do we take pride on what we think is best? or do we return to the word?
"Forbearance,
is tolerance in the face of provocation.
It is patiently enduring
the weaknesses and failings of others."
~Training for Victory~
The bible says:
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace"
~ Ephesians 4 : 2 - 3
.... As it says in the scriptures, In times others have wronged us or had disappointed us for whatever reason we have to bear with them with humility, gentleness, patience and with love. The world would say, its impossible not to hold a grudge or not to take things our own way some would even shout "REVENGE" but what do we think God would do? Matthew 18 : 21 - 22.
I leave you with this song, "At the Cross" by Hillsong. For God has searched us and even we have failed him so many times, "HE LOVES US" look up to God and be encourage that even how many times we have wronged Him. " HE FORGIVES" and "HE LOVES" despite of... and no matter what....
