Need more patience? Remember how patient God is with you:

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)

Is generosity an elusive virtue? Then consider how generous God has been with you:

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

Having trouble putting up with ungrateful relatives or cranky neighbors? God puts up with you when you at the same:

“He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.” (Luke 6:35)

Can’t we love like this?
