when God is asked for patience, he doesnt magically give you patience. instead, he gives you plenty of opportunities to be patience and to practice that which you asked for. and as a result of those many opportunities, then you grow. he doesnt just magically make you better, but he's there for you to count on and sends people to do things that will guide you along the way as you journey towards him. its not slowness or any failure to act or procrastination on God's part thats making the answer to your questions come at a "delay." instead, it is that he's wanting to give you that necessary time to reshape yourself and the chance to rely on his strength and your knowledge of his omniscient presence. this is the mechanism of God's love and care for our souls. he doesnt want us lost or for us to perish. if we were expected to change in a heartbeat once and for all, it would be kinda horrific if we couldn't do it. wow... that really would suck :x
so what am i supposed to do about that?
wellll, seeing as my problem is profanity at the moment... and ive been talking about it for at least the last week or so, i think this is meant as an encouragement to me. God is still there and ready to help me out at anytime. in fact, this verse alone is evidence to me of his commitment to being my Father. i'm never to be afraid because of him and i can always take security in him <3 i'm getting the time to correct this problem for sure. already today, ive come across a few pitfall chances to crash and either straight up cuss or to throw out substitute lettering like the @ $ ! 3 or any number of things. i did say "h3llish" now that i think about it... but... no excuses _smh at self_. ok but im getting a touch better and this is going to happen eventually.
im coming back to you, O Lord.
