***Audio Version For Paid members: Nothing Missing, Nothing Broken Audio 499
God is here with us right now. He knows the desires of our hearts. He knows that we face struggles. He knows that there are battles to overcome. Yet and still, He has a journey. He has a destination. He has a path for us to walk, each and every one. He knows the end from the beginning. He knows exactly how we’re going to end up walking through certain situations.
He knows that there are struggles and there are trials, but the Lord is still with us through those struggles and trials. So we don’t have to face the world alone.
Here in our cornerstone scriptures, we see that patience is the key, that patience is working. In James, it describes patience as her perfect work. So this spirit of patience, this settled mind, it’s described as her perfect work, withholding nothing, the same way that wisdom is described and attributed as her in the Scriptures.
This is the grace and glory of God, that he is showing us that when we wait on him, when we stay aligned with his word, and when we stay submitted unto the Lord, we are going to see patience come forth.
It is a fruit of the Spirit to have long-suffering. This fruit of the Spirit known as long suffering means that we are patient, that we are not rushing, that we don’t see delays as denials, that some way, somehow, as we’re growing in Christ Jesus, we will see doors open in season. We believe a harvest is coming.
So patience having her good work, that we may be perfect and entire, that we may be whole and wanting nothing. That takes time. It takes maturity. It takes us being still before the Lord to get to a place where we may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
