When I grow up, I want these 3 words to define my life: Joyful. Patient. Faithful.
“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction and faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12
That “to-do” list seems daunting. How can you be full of hope, patience, and faithfulness? I can’t muster up those qualities in my life. But notice that the verse doesn’t say to “do”. It says to “be.”
There is a way that we can be growing and becoming more like Jesus. Go to the source. When the Holy Spirit has more control of my life than I do, I will be more joyful, patient, and faithful. Which area is the biggest growth opportunity for you? Joy, patience or faithfully praying? – Sandi
