Perfectly Exasperated!

At our house if the shower lever is not turned off as soon as the water is turned on my bath has officially become a shower!  It is not a pleasant thing and I find it exasperating! Why oh why must this be an issue! But is it really an issue or is it an opportunity to grow in grace?  Isn't it just as easy to check the lever myself? Sure it is. 

James 1:4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Colossians 3:12-  Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

 

 

 

 

 

Prayer: Father please help us to put on love. Let us realize that perfection is a work that you do within us and forgiveness is what we do for others.
