Scripture:
2 Timothy 2: 24 & 25 "The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth"
Observation:
Patience and kindness goes long way, especially to non-believer. Through reaching out with kindness and lot of patience, this could lead those non-believers to know God. Through our ways of touching and approach with gentleness to non-believers, God will work his miracle into stirring those to know God and find peace within themselves.
Application:
I have very thin layer of being patience with disobediant and ignorant individuals, believer or non-believer. However, I find myself running out of patience and getting myself all worked up. I run into my fight and defense mode, but God does not accept that from his servants. God want me to be patient and impose the knowledge which he has provided and peace he brings unto people and through that, I may influence some positive reinforcement to those who are lost. In the meantime, need to work my patience and focus my patience in Lord's words and guidance. If I am disobedient by losing my cool, how can the individuals be influenced?
Prayer:
Father God, impose patience in me, lay your hand upon me and bring peace within my heart. Father God, guide me and help me to learn to love those who are lacking obedience, especially of those believers. Father I lack so much knowledge and obedience of my own, Father God, stir my heart that I may be firm around those who break my peace and stir my heart that I may be discipline to share your kindness with those who break my peace. Father God, I am soo blesses, you have shower me with so much love. Father give me to knowledge and discipline to be a faithful servant to serve your righteousness and share your wisdom with those who lack obedience. Father you are amazing and your cross has save me, Father I need your help to be faithful and be a servant of your words. Continue to convict me and teach me. In your holy name amen.
