Song inspired by the

My thoughts about the
verses:
The first thing that we
have to do to be patient is to trust God.
We must come to the true understanding that God is there for us. If we are accepting Jesus into our life we
are actually putting our trust in God.
Yet, we find it hard to
put our trust in others. We undergo so
many disappointments. We think about all
those people that have disappointed us and how we do not want it to happen to
us again. Many of us have been hurt by
the very people that are supposed to love and support us.
I watched a video today
that reminded me of so many other stories.
A young man was verbally and physically attacked because he stepped out
of the closet. His family at first
accepted him. Then through peer pressure
they turned on him. Through his fear he recorded
the event because he felt things didn’t just feel right.
I have seen so many
people that are hurt by the ones that are to love them. I can remember one of my closest friends and
the shunning that the church put her through.
She loved the church and her father and mother were very active
members. Yet, as things would work out
she got pregnant before getting married.
The church excluded her from some of the activities that she did because
of this.
Yet, here is where I want
you to understand the difference between God and people. People are fallible God is perfect. God is the true judge yet, wants to judge us
through rose covered glasses. People
cannot put on those glasses. The glasses
are created by the blood that flowed from Jesus’s body as he died on the cross
to set us free. God is able to look pass
things that are on the surface to our inner soul.
It is important to point
out that God will not fail us. God will
be there with us even when we try to run.
Jesus is the steadfast binder in our relationship with God. God send Jesus therefor the binding begins
and ends with God. If we stay focused on
what we should do we will receive great reward.
Know that God will provide our needs and be faithful to us if we have
Jesus in our life.
It might seem that those
that are doing things that are against God are getting rewards. Yet, we need to know that those rewards are
only here on Earth. They will not
receive the same reward for those that are Children of God. They will receive the gift of everlasting
life. Therefor what we have to remember
is since we have trust in God we need to have patience on our reward.
We should continue to do
our best to follow God in all the hard times.
We need to know that one day that our sacrifices on Earth will be
rewarded. That our patience will turn
into great reward. So the most important
things that we need to do is put our trust in God. Once that first step is taken and our trust
in put in God we do not need to worry.
We should do our best to
serve God. We should not judge ourselves
or others instead we should wait patiently on the gift that God will give us. Through
our trust and patience in God we will receive the gift that God freely gives to
all who will believe in the sacrifice of Jesus.
Prayer:
Thank you God for you steadfast
love. Thank you for helping us be
patient people. We praise you for
showing us how to put our trust in you.
We ask that you help us to continue to serve us. Help us trust you. In the name of the Risen Savior we pray. Amen
