OUR LONG SUFFERING GOD
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Encouraging Words
The Church has been waiting for over 2,000 years for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ so that He can establish His new heaven on earth. Many times we get impatient and even lose hope that He really is coming back. God is not playing some kind of cosmic joke on us. He is being long-suffering and giving us all, both Christians and non-Christians, time to come to Him and to grow in Him. He desires that all who do not know Him or have never heard of Him to be given the chance to come to Him. He desires that all of us who claim Him as our Lord repent of our sinful ways and carry His Good News to those who have not heard. He is long-suffering for us all. Lord, have mercy!
