Ugsome (1 Timothy 1:15-16)

Good morning ladies,

The word of the day is “ugsome.”  Reading the apostle Paul as he gives instruction to young Timothy is always inspiring to me.  You can hear through the words written on this page that Paul really cared about the young man as he would one day be like Paul, a prisoner for Christ.  Paul knew that he had nothing to show for it in his own life except for the love that Christ bestowed upon him.  And that's why each of us can relate to these words.

“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.”
~1 Tim 1:15-16


My question is: what are a couple of ways that Jesus is showed his patients in your life?  This could be something in your specific walk with him, or maybe something that you were able to witness as a fellow Christian to another person.  My prayer is that each of you receives the mercy that God gives to us as sinners.  Remember to always love others above yourself and accept them, as Christ accepts them.  Although our sin is ugsome, the Savior looks beyond that and makes this part of his family.

Praying for you,


Mo
