Today we are going to have a brief post from my sister, Elisabeth. It's short and sweet, but still totally relevant. :)
Hi! It's Elisabeth again---this time with a very short post. I was studying some scriptures and came across this verse:
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. -Ephesians 4:2
It really stood out to me because in general, I am not known as the most patient person. While I accept that I struggle with patience more than most people, I feel like everyone struggles with this to some degree…which is where this scripture comes into play. When we are patient with each other, we love each other, but we also display gentleness and self-control. It often takes a considerable amount of time and energy to be patient with each other, but when we are patient we are giving each other a great gift out of love.
This scripture had a lasting impression on me and I wanted to share it with you guys in hopes that it would be just as inspirational for you. Sometimes I need to be reminded not to stress, but to bring it back to the important things in life---and relationships with others are one of the most meaningful aspects of life.
This thought is simple, but relevant regardless of our differences.
XOXO,
Elisabeth
