Patience with Growth

Everyone around you is in process. The same patience God shows toward you is the patience you are called to extend to others. Growth takes time. Maturity develops through repeated experiences. When you expect instant change in people you create frustration for yourself and pressure for them. You cannot control another person’s pace of growth, but you can control your response to it. You practice patient grace when: You allow room for learning. You refuse to rehearse offenses. You remember your own journey. You continue to treat people with respect.
