Day 2: Family—Love Is Patient
Five-day devotional based on the message by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers on March 2, 2025. Watch/listen to the full message by clicking here.
Devotional:
Patience does not come naturally to most of us, especially when it comes to family. Their quirks, choices, and words can test us. Yet, love is patient. God’s patience with us is unending, and He calls us to extend that same patience to those closest to us. Instead of reacting in frustration, we can ask God to help us grow in patience, trusting that He is working in both their lives and ours.
Bible Verse:
"Love is patient and kind." — 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NLT)
Reflection Question:
In what situation do you need to practice patience with a family member today?
Sermon Quote:
"We love our families by going against our natural response of impatience and instead practicing patience that only God can give us, which will result in peace."
Prayer:
Lord, help me to be patient with my family as You have been patient with me. Give me a heart that reflects Your love. Amen.
