Hebrews Chapter 12: Whew, what a lesson!

So, a good friend of mine was giving me his Christian expertise and insight into a problem I was having with patience. He guided me to Hebrews chapter 12 and, believe me, I GOT THE MESSAGE! If I may paraphase God's holy Word: It basically said that if Jesus can face horrendous opposition and sacrifice his body to abuse, pain, and finally death....we don't really have a lot that we can seriously complain about, do we? A little patience with the things we don't understand and the annoyances in our lives seems perfectly appropriate. God's will WILL be done and we are just too human to see the big picture. God is the alpha and the omega..He was present at the beginning and is now and will come again (Revelation 1:8)....we are only here for a very short period of time and wouldn't have a better perspective than Him, huh? Food for thought! It sure helped me this week! Thank God for friends.
