Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
-John Lusk talked about the "five stones" at our marriage retreat. Here's a list of the "stones":- Humility
- Gentleness
- Patience
- Bearability
- Love
I do not know if "bearability" is really a word, but work with me here. Actually, it is not really a word, but I have to be able to bear with others in love. In fact, I have to bear out with others. I have to be humble to the very end. I have to be patient to the end. If I have those qualities, I will have a great marriage. I will have a great walk with God. I will be what God has called me to be. And if I am what God calls to be, then I will be expressing qualities of love everywhere I go, and that's not a bad thing. Johnny Out.
