I am ready to go to the mountains and enjoy the cool breeze.  It won't be long!  I hope you have had some time to enjoy a vacation.  If not, what are you waiting on?

This week I am dealing with a character quality of God that is not considered that often.  I thought I would find many references on it, but I didn't.  When is the last time that you considered God's "PATIENCE".  He waits!  I have often wondered how on earth He could continue to wait when sin seems to be so rampant in society.  The only answer that makes sense is that He has yet to finish His purpose on this earth.  So, He waits.  What I do know is that He waited for me.  For that, I am eternally thankful.  Consider, what if Jesus had returned the day before you got saved?  Where would you be today?  Speaking of HOT! 

So, each day someone somewhere is asking Jesus into their heart.  Just think, if Jesus returned today, who would get cut off from eternity with Him because they were one day late?  For some, God continues to wait.  I am glad He is in charge of when the wait is over.  I do know, it is not good to keep God waiting. 

Have a blessed weekend!  If you are in Lubbock, hope to see you Sunday!
