Be patient with everyone. If there's one thing that I struggle with when it comes to others, it's patience. I'm just gonna be honest with you. I'm I'm kinda sometimes a big picture guy. I can look over the horizon and see what I believe is coming, But the what really is hard for me at times is moving people along into that vision. I'm careful because I'm also a person who likes to have consensus and and I like to inspire people to move on their own instead of directing them. But it's hard sometimes when when you can see something clearly and others cannot. And you're you're tempted to it today. Come along. Why don't you move? Why aren't you coming to small group? You know you need to. Why aren't you getting involved in ministry? You know you need to. Come on. What are you doing? You know you need to not just be a Sunday morning person. You know you need to not just be a Christmas and Easter person. Why don't you get a move on? Why don't you get we need to be patient with people. Now that doesn't mean ignoring them. That doesn't mean letting them stay where they are, but we need to patiently move them along and patiently let God and the holy spirit direct them.
