Longsuffering is suffering long enough for you to die to yourself and discover the peace of God through the midst of fire. Because you’ve endured suffering, you function better in the overcomer mentality.
If your heart of compassion is not consecrated, it gets compromised. Then your care for people and/or things is now corrupted, but you think it’s being considerate.
“I don’t think the devil minds if we have good meetings, are excited about church and love being together. Just as long as we don’t take those opinions and perspectives into the community, where they will have the greatest impact.” Bill Johnson
CHRISTIANS!!: Some people are watching/observing you even when you do not realize it. Your actions are an influence! Don’t let your hypocrisy or compromise be the reason others dismiss church and/or Jesus.
