Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? ~ Romans 2:4

The goodness of God makes possible indulgence in the hearts of foolish men, but brings about repentance in the hearts of wise men. ~ Jon Courson

My daughter’s good and compassionate nature makes her a prime target for others who want to take advantage of her. (I never had to teach her how to act, but how to protect herself from how she acts naturally). Yet I’ve experienced myself taking advantage of God’s love and kindness. Not so much now as I’ve matured in my faith, but as a young man when I was beginning my journey.

It’s becoming ever imperative that I delve into His Word often as a way of staying on the straight and narrow. I’ve found it to be the best way to remain cognizant of my attitude and responses in my life and the world around me. In doing so I can recognize and correct my worldly desires and in a beautiful way reinforce my relationship with God.

Lord, thank you for your never-ending tolerance and patience. May I never grow into a life of ungratefulness.

Pray on,
Eddy
