What small things do you waste the most time doing?Ephesians 4:2
This meditation from Ephesians 4 is an invitation to bear with the people God has placed in your life. Not as a burden endured through gritted teeth, but as a weight that love makes carryable. Paul writes, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love. Before it is a command, it is a description of how God has always held you.
