"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." -Ephesians 4:2-3 (NIV)
There are times when I have to bear with others, just as I know there are times when, I hope, others bear with me. We can be frustrated with each other. We can question each other. In the end, it is our response that can either preserve unity and peace or foster hard feelings.
When approaching a situation, we need to remember that we need to bear with others in love, just as we would want others to bear with us. We can be humble, gentle, patient, kind, and loving. We may struggle to show these qualities, but we can call on God for His help. With God's help, our efforts should be in keeping the unity of His Holy Spirit. We can then be bound together as members of God's family, living in love and peace according to His will!
Bear with one another in God's love and peace!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for bearing with me throughout my life. Help me to bear with others and to always show Your patience and love. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
