Words of Encouragement –Patience

2 Peter 1:6

6 Knowing God leads to self-control. Self-control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. (NLT)

In the beginning of our walk with Christ we begin to get to know Jesus and what it means to follow Him. Jesus said in Matthew 16:24-26 "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for me, you will find true life.(NLT) So then to begin self-control you must put aside selfish ambition. As you allow the Holy Spirit to begin to control your life this leads to patience and patience leads to endurance and endurance leads to godliness. As we walk with Christ He is taking us through a process and He is cleansing us from the old life and remaking us into a new person in Him. Patience also leads us into prayer. Helping us to see that God’s timing is perfect.
