Patience of Hope
1 Thessalonians 1:3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,
Patience can be seen in us. This is very fascinating. I can live day by day not knowing how the Spirit has calmed me or given me patience but the world around takes notice. Oh, I do realize how I handle things now isnt even close to how I would handle them in a chaotic mess years ago before Christ. By spending time with Jesus, it is impossible to not take upon ourselves His characteristics. This hope the bible speaks of is not wishful thinking but earnest expectation. If I know what is coming, Im for apt to wait patiently for it, even when things seem hopeless around me.
This is the Christian I pray I am and will remain. This is the Christian I pray I can help others experience, if by only, this feeble example but as the power of the Spirit living in me. Jesus has changed my life. Jesus continues to fix my course to heaven. All my faith, love, and hope are in Him. For Him. Because of Him.

I continue to hope for certain things but I never looked at it as patience before. One of the hardest things for me is accepting God's timing because I'm kind of a I want it now but I continue to strive and hope in Jesus for the peace and the joy that we all seek
