Do you ever have one of those days when you just want to crawl into a hole and hide? Someone is annoying you and you just feel like you are at the end of your rope? I am reminded of this story from Anthony Demello:
One day Abraham invited a beggar to his tent for a meal. When grace was being said the man began to curse God, declaring he could not bear to hear His name.
Seized with indignation, Abraham drove the blasphemer away.
When he was at his prayers that night, God said to him, "This man has cursed and reviled me for fifty years and yet I have given him food to eat every day. Could you not put up with him for a single meal?"
And, now after hearing that, I have more patience. It is a fruit of the Spirit after all.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
