Longsuffering
"Longsuffering has nothing to do with the principles of this world. Though the world imitates love, joy and peace, it cannot imitate longsuffering, for a non-Christian is unable to bear all the attacks and insults of the world.
We might find a non-Christian who is able to bear some offences, as long as they are justified. However, who can bear them when they are justified. However, who can bear them when they are absolutely unjust? Only by faith and love for the Lord Jesus can a Christian bear injustice and still remain firm and patient."
Well, I even remember, i was called to visit someone in the Hospital and when i arrived, i was told we should not be coming again, because they were doing some research on the church first. The worse is that the nurse said she is a Christian, i asked her what kind of Christian are you to judge without even speaking to us?
In these moments, we feel discriminated against, but because we have longsuffering and we know that we are doing the right thing, we keep going on.
Well the bible says:
"So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." Galatians 6:9 NLT
Never give up, keep going, even when you face injustice, if the Holy Spirit is in you, you will have patience to carry on.
God Bless You.
