Love is patient.
No hurrying. No worrying. Just waiting.
Tamping down the questions –
smoothing out the concerns –
holding fast in patience.
Not every season is about action.
Think of those bulbs under the ground – we don’t see the flowers at first, just green shoots.
Think of babies growing under their mommy’s heart – nothing to be seen… at first.
Think of the sunrise – it begins as just a faint glow in the night sky.
Love is patient.
How are you being patient with your spouse?
Has she made promises… but you don’t see any results?
Has he planned… but you can’t understand the outcome?
Maybe you need to have a bit of patience? Maybe?
Because, after all,
your loving Heavenly Father is very patient with you – isn’t He?
Wait – with patient love.
How will you show your spouse your love – by being patient?
My husband is going through something right now – something deep that he never did deal with. So it’s kind of hard to be patient, I’ve been waiting for this change a long time. I know I need to give him the space to heal, but it’s really hard. God, however, in His infinite wisdom, has seen fit to lay a ton of things on my heart to improve INSIDE myself, so LOL, I’m too busy getting my own heart in order to not have patience!
