Daily Devotion-Wait With Purpose

My [inner] self [as well as my body] is also exceedingly
disturbed and troubled. But You, O Lord,
how long [until You return and speak peace to me]?
Return [to my relief], O Lord, deliver my life;
save me for the sake of Your steadfast love and mercy.
Psalm 6:3-4
Avoid getting negative when you look at your circumstances. Actively wait on God to give you strength to walk in the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Wait with purpose, silently listening for Him to speak, eagerly watching for Him to act.
Tell Him, " Lord I receive strength to be Your ambassador and witness. Your word tells me to love people who mistreat me. Though it is hard to do in the natural, I receive strength from You to be loving today."
Then watch for the opportunity to act godly as He gives you strength to do so.
Starting Your Day Right- Joyce Meyer

It's that 'love and tolerance of others is our code' thing that can take effort in practicing.....
