I have always been able to see beyond the moment.
In terms of my faith, I am well versed in living with a view of eternity. In fact, the Bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4 to “encourage each other with these words”.
That’s because we lose sight of that day when God makes everything right.
This sermon from Grace Road Church in Rochester, NY, explained so much to me this morning. I am always thinking and trying to figure things out. It’s been difficult to understand the “whys” in life when we know we have embraced the Lord and the scriptures and worked hard at doing what he tells us.
Listen to this sermon about the parable of the wheat and tares. I hope it helps.
when it hurts 
Hi Kathleen, thank you for letting us know about this very good sermon. The link to listen to it though, didn’t work when I twice tried it. So I read the available manuscript option and enjoyed that.
I think that remembering that we have no clue what’s going on in someone else’s life at the time they’re behaving un-Christ-like, helps me with patience when I feel like I’ve just met a difficult “Tare”!
Blessings,
Donna
