DIVINE PATIENCE
Stella Dhinakaran
Dearly beloved,
When you abide in God, He will impart His divine qualities to you.
A young woman could not keep any matter to herself; she was a tale bearer because of which she caused much confusion. She got married. Her husband had great love for the Lord and hence did ministry in his free time.
She saw her husbands divine life right from the beginning of her marriage and the Lord filled her too with His love and transformed her into a new person. Many people used to come to them seeking Gods counsel. This woman received the grace to keep everything to herself and was filled with patience, meekness and modesty.
Dearly beloved, commit your life to the Lord. Then the Lord Himself will adorn you with the jewel called patience. He who is mighty will do great things in your life. Hold on to Him firmly so that you will be filled with the presence of God and live with patience as vessels that are pleasing to Him. The Holy Spirit too will fill you with the necessary divine strength and strengthen you. So as the disciples tarried and prayed (Acts 1:14), ask Him with thirst in His presence individually and as a family, saying, Fill us too Lord.
Then, as found in the 2nd Chapter of Acts, the Lord will grant you the divine experience that they had. You will enjoy a victorious life filled with patience through the anointing of the Holy Spirit and His strength. In my young days, I had no patience. But after I received the anointing of the Holy Spirit, my life gradually changed.
The Bible says, Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). As we thus read, since the Holy Spirit gave me holiness, righteousness, patience and love, my life was transformed upside down. Dearly beloved, you too should look up to the Lord Jesus, receive forgiveness for the shortcomings in your life and pray incessantly for the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Then, through a life which is filled with Gods image, the Lord will surely help you to live in happiness and blessedness adorned with the jewel called patience.
The Bible says, Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2). Give all glory to God and humble yourself before Him. Love others and be kind towards them. Show patience and live in harmony with everyone. Then you will become a channel of Gods blessing to them.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I totally commit my life to You. Please forgive my shortcomings and fill me the Holy Spirit. Fill me with Your divine love and change me into a new person. Give me the grace to receive divine qualities and be a channel of blessing for others.
In Your matchless name I pray,
Amen.
