Patience is one of the hardest things to practice, whether it’s focusing on a hard project, teaching a young child, or even just putting up with some people. Whenever you are having a hard time being patient, remember how patient God is.

Many times in the bible, God keeps giving second chances to many people, including the Jews, and many other people, including Paul the apostle. Paul was persecuting and arresting Christians, but God gave him a second chance, and he trusted Christ as his savior, and was able to do so much for God.

He has patience with us as well, and even though we do some pretty stupid things, and he always gives his children so many chances to follow him.
