Jesus is patient and kind; he is not envious or boastful; he's not arrogant or rude.
He did not insist on his own way but following his Father's will, left the glory of heaven to empty himself and serve us and sacrifice himself for us.
Jesus isn't irritable or resentful.
And Jesus keeps no record of wrongs that he might rejoice over us in our sins and failings – for he has forgiven us all our trespasses, throwing our sins into the depths of the sea to remember them no more and has justified us.
Jesus rejoices with the truth of his grace that declares us righteous; he delights in us and over us.
Therefore, in Jesus we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, endure all things.
Jesus never ends. And never fails. And remains forever.
How does God's Word impact our prayers?
God invites His children to talk with Him, yet our prayers often become repetitive and stale. How do we have a real conversation with God? How do we come to know Him so that we may pray for His will as our own?
In the Bible, God speaks to us as His children and gives us words for prayer—to praise Him, confess our sins, and request His help in our lives.
