Patience and Perfection
Let patience have her perfect work. James 1:4
Patience is not a matter of forethought nor self-control. It will manifest itself quite naturally and without effort when the soul is rid of all resentment against imperfection. Purity of heart is possible but perfection is a word that could have been used to describe only a few rare souls, and then only relatively.
The only way you can make any reasonable progress toward perfection is by committing your entire life into My hands and realizing it is I who live within you and effect whatever changs are made.
I don't believe there is anyone who is perfect, and lest one think he is, he will fall. but God is doing a work in each one of us, and as we yield he will make those changes in us.
Father, create in me a clean heart oh God and renew in me a right spirit. In Jesus Name. Amen.
Friday afternoon, Colleen, Mary and I drove to Bismarck, after we got settled into our room, we went to the motel where the meeting (ladies retreat) was being held, Julie met us there, we all ate together at a banquet, the girls from Teen Challenge were there and they sang and shared testimonies. We then had a speaker. Saturday, there were two more sessions, we ate together and went to where Julie works. She sent us home with cupcakes, bread and some cheesecake and bread pudding. It was very tasty. Today is another day, and we trust it is a good day for you.
