When Friends Disappoint You

If there comes a time that you feel you are losing patience on anything or someone. An irritating boss or colleague, a messy roomate, disappointments with friends, frustrations with dreams and careers...

Don't say, "Jesus, please give me more patience."

Say,

"Jesus, thank you because You are my patience."


You know why?

Because if Jesus will give us even tons and tons of patience,
it will still run out. It won't even last a day or an hour.

But

If you claim Jesus as your patience, it's beautiful!
He will do the rest for you...change you effortlessly on the inside.
And boooom! One day, you'd find yourself smiling in the midst of adversities.

Right now, I'm losing patience with some of my friends.
You know, the usual issues with friends like failed expectations, disappointments etc.

I've learnt, you cannot change your friends.
And sometimes talking to them about your feelings wouldn't help either.
It may just jeopardize the relationship.
So what I do?

I just accept and forgive them for their failures..because Jesus has forgiven me too. Or maybe it's just me.. Maybe I expect too much or whatever.

Anyways,

Yes. I talk everything out to Jesus ....

then I feel good after...

Wheew!

In my heart, He tells me,
"They are still your friends.
Forgive .
Smile
and move on..
because I love you, you can expect more of me instead.
I'm your friend and I will never fail you or forsake you. Keep that in mind."

I say, "WooooooooooW! Amen Lord!
Thank you.....:) Halleluyaaaaah!
