“Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.”Ephesians 4:2 NLT
Making allowances is something we do only for those we really love. However, as Christians we are called to love all. Paul in the above verse is talking to the church, so we assume just believers.
Yet, there are believers who test our patience. We struggle more when we are unwell or tired, or they are unwell or tired. As we approach Christmas we can fall into a ‘have to’ mentality and fail to enjoy and love the season of ‘goodwill to all mankind’. May we pull back and gear down a cog and enjoy.
I was planning to take my flatmates to the snow. However, it is reluctant to snow within a few hours of Kathmandu before New Year. Whilst that will be fun, it will also be a trial as snow can cause you to be bogged, snow melts and you become wet. I must maintain the joy of seeing my flatmates experience snow for the first time.
Remembering why Christmas is important! Amen!
