As acrostics go, it’s kind of a long one, but still a good one…and very necessary to remember about ourselves…and others: PBPGINFWMY — “Please Be Patient; God Is Not Finished With Me Yet.”  If God can be very patient with us, as we slowly grow in the midst of our imperfections (and He is), we must also be very patient with others as they struggle with their imperfections; very patient!

 

Psalm 86:15

But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

 

1 Corinthians 13:4

Love is patient.

 

Ephesians 4:2 (NLT)

Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.

 

“Quite honestly, most people are quick to ‘write someone off.’ But our God is a God of the second chance. Learn from the One who is patient with you, and you’ll learn to be patient with others.” ~ Woodrow Kroll

 

The Lord bless you and keep you….
