Here is the latest spiritual though (breakthrough) I've had.
I use to be so touched that the Savior knew how much we would
disappoint him and hurt him but that he was willing to love us anyway.
That really is amazing, but what is even more amazing is that he did
it SO THAT we could fail. SO THAT We could make mistakes. SO THAT we
could hurt others. SO THAT we could LEARN. Obviously, he doesn't
condone sin but he knew it was essential for us to receive all that
the father has. In PMG Ch6 it defines patience: "the capacity to
endure delay,
trouble, opposition, or suffering without becoming angry, frustrated,
or anxious. It is
the ability to do God’s will and accept His timing." Patience is so
connected to charity and long-suffering. The Savior is there when we
are broken and don't even know it; when we are breaking things around
us and don't know it. He is there with love for when we are ready to
recognize our faults and change. He waits with love. I used to think
patience entailed demonstrating how much you have to repress to be
"patient" with someone else. Patience is really doing it all
cheerfully. I'm hoping I can apply that in my life more. I invite you
to do that also.
