Patience

It does not take "brains" to be selfish. God has called us to be smart and unselfish....smart because we are to educate ourselves in the gospel, unselfish because of love. However, we all manage to be unselfish to easily. Why is that? It is because it does not take a smart man to be selfish, but it takes all the strenght of a smart man to be unselfish.

This is something that Daniel Savala taught us this week. Me and Brenda where the only girls joined with Todd jackson's small group. I can honestly say that I would not trade that evening for anything in the world. How the Lord moved! Besides that, how much spirit of Love was there! There were some who had never met Daniel Savala (incuding me), yet it was as if we already knew each other for a long time. The fellowship that we had that night was amazing. It reminds me of ephesians 2:19

"19Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household,"

We were the family of God united that evening. Afterwards, we met Brenda's parents and with the Holy Sprit moving, the Lord touched Brenda's father to fill up all the three cars! How can I explain this joy?? The joy of the Lord....there is this inmense strenght within me to do the right thing, yet our selfishness drives it away. Must we be inpatient? No...all the contrary, we may fall and fall, but our biggest weapon against the enemy is patience. Paitene for oneself, for us to go to the next step.....that is what satan fears most: patience (daniel savala). I learned that evening that sometimes pridefullness can get the best of me. Besides knowledge and what the Lord has given me, I am nothing. I am like every other person, and there is still so much more to go. So much more santification to go through. I challenge all the saints to pray for patience,for the patience that will produce holiness.....
