Jesus is my patience.....

Yesterday, I have posted a blog about getting so pissed off with my colleague.

I spoke in tongues just to get rid of that bad feeling.

Today is a new day.

Mmmmm... I'm kinda ok. But honestly, not totally ok..

Did my speaking in tongues work?

I don't know. But I believe it works behind the scenes.
While I am typing this thread, my miracle is happening outhere somewhere , waiting to manifest in me anytime soon.
Maybe it's just busy fixing things around for me..perhaps
it got stuck in a traffic. So , I shall wait. :)

That's how God works. He loves to surprise you and me you know.

Somehow, I have stopped relying too much in my emotions.
In what I can only see and touch. Because Jesus has taught me, that all the things in this world, even the things that you feel or think, perceive or plan,
They are all temporary.

God's Word is forever and eternal.

Like when God promised this a thousand years ago....

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

Romans 8:28


Woooow!

God can truly see our future.
He knows what while we live here on earth. We all are going to mess things up and our lives will be in a haywire.

That's why He tells us this verse.

Let me post it again...


"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."

Romans 8:28


I love today's devotional from Joseph Prince.
It is sooooooo timely!
Be blessed and keep enjoying your day , Beloveds!

Jesus is our patience!
Thank you Lord........

Christ Is The Treasure In You by Joseph Prince

2 Corinthians 4:7
7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

The verse tells us that we have “this treasure” in earthen vessels. Who is the treasure? Christ! Who are the earthen vessels here? You and I! Thank God the treasure is in the earthen vessels.

My friend, Christ the treasure is in you. So don’t get frustrated when you see your “earthiness”. You will always be “earthen” as long as you are in your mortal body, but remember that Christ the treasure is in you.

Should you lose your cool with your spouse or children, remember that Christ in you is your patience. When I feel impatient, I don’t pray, “Lord Jesus, give me patience... now!” No, I look to Jesus and I say, “Lord Jesus, I thank You that You are my patience.”

In my younger days and even when I first got married, I had a bad temper. I tried all sorts of anger management techniques, but I never got very far until I told God, “God, I am so frustrated trying to overcome my anger. I give up! I cannot. You can. I rest and depend on You.” Not too long after that, my wife commented, “You know, you have improved in the area of your temper.”

I thought about what she had said and realized that I was not even conscious of the change in me. When family members can see the patience of Christ manifesting through a naturally impatient person, God gets the glory.

Perhaps you are frustrated with your smoking and drinking habits. Or maybe you are discouraged by your feelings of jealousy, distrust, bitterness, depression and defeat. Don’t condemn yourself for being earthen. Don’t try to “cast out” your earthiness. Just realize that you have Christ the treasure in you.

The more you see that treasure in you, the more Christ’s brilliance shines forth in you. And in the midst of your earthiness, God gets the glory as you yourself are transformed from glory to glory! (2 Corinthians 3:18)
