Blurb cont'd... Forbearance is the totality of the proper Christian life. It is the all-inclusive virtue of Christ. To be forbearing is to live and magnify Christ. It is the means for man to fulfill God's threefold purpose-in one's own life, one's family life, and one's church life. I never saw this before. The lack of forbearance in my life reveals just how much Christ I lack! 😂 A spat with my hubby over $$ showed how much anxiety is in me!
