THESE THREE - PATIENCE, EXPERIENCE, HOPE These three things, qualities, attributes, gifts, or whatever you choose to describe them as, should be observed in every Christian life. They should be foundational practices, noticed on every child of Gods Curriculum-Vitae because they are gained through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, and are necessary for the journey that lies before us all. Romans 5:3 states: And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope We cant grow without these elements present in our lives; we need them for where God is taking us. God has made these crucial elements accessible through faith, which levels the playing field for everyone - Jew or Gentile; all have the same measure of success that none be greater than the other. What is needed is not what we bring when we come to God, but rather what God gives to us through faith. God is so awesome, and, He treats us all the same. No matter your status or education, everyone has to pay the same price for admission - faith. Through this faith we are privileged to be taught the mysteries of Christ our Lord, and the adoption and Son-ship that we receive as heirs to the Kingdom of God. The journey of purpose that stands before us all is one of choice; that we follow Christ and carry our own crosses that we too can please the Father. What is wonderful is the guarantee, the promise, the blessed assurance we have in the God that saved us, Hallelujah! We know through faith that we can make it, as we allow him to perfect His perfect work in us. God being God has already seen the end from the beginning, and yet, called you knowing that we can make it because of these three. The enemy has been stealing from us even before we came to know God intimately, yet God set in motion His plan to reclaim all that is ours by Divine right, if we would only trust Him. So, as your trials and tribulations come give God the glory because your trials are bringing forth patience that God desires us all to have, and this patience gives us experience that is critical to our daily growth, being firmly planted in God no matter what circumstances may come our way. Not to mention the necessity for being a teacher to those that are coming after you, Hebrews 5:12. It is clear that many are enduring their Egypts, their iron furnaces, their lions den circumstances, but glory to God, all this is working for your good as you allow these three to get worked in your life, you will experience the faithfulness of our God Whos grace knows no bounds. God bless you. Remain steadfast and release your faith, that nothing in your life will be hindered through self, knowing it is impossible to please God, without it.
