This week has been rough. School wise, emotionally, physically. However, God has been so faithful in flooding me with his truths, love, peace and reassurance. It is amazing to me how the worst of weeks can be the best ones spiritually.
After a hard conversation on Tuesday night I took my stubborn heart to our weekly RA meeting, where God quickly spoke. Retta (my boss) spoke to us about patience. She mostly talked to us about being patient with our residents, co-workers, and herself. She read from 1 Corinthians 13 about how without love anything you do is in vain.
Love is patient.
That struck a chord with me and made my heart melt in repentance. How patient am I being in my relationships?
Decisions are hard. My heart feels heavy, but full. Full of his love.
And I am grateful.
"If I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." -1 Corinthians 13:4-8
