Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Having the Patience of God

Suppose your God should be angry every time you gave Him cause and struck every time you provoked Him!

When your brother offends you, restrain your heart until you take a faithful view of the patience and forbearance of God toward you, and then consider His command to you to go and do likewise.
