“What God Wants Us to Be: Be Forgiving”

What God Wants us to Be - Be Patient

Susan Townsend continues the series, “What God Wants Us to Be.”  This lesson is "Be Patient." God’s patience is His sovereign, purposeful restraint in the unfolding of His will and timing. Patience for people is the Spirit-enabled ability to endure delays, difficulties, trials, and unmet expectations without frustration, anxiety, or complaint. It is trusting God’s timing and purposes in every situation, choosing calmness and steadfastness instead of rushing, reacting, or giving way to anger.

“What God Wants Us to Be: Be Forgiving”

Susan Townsend continues the series, “What God Wants Us to Be.”  This lesson is Be Forgiving. Godly forgiving means that He removes our sin, cancels our debt, and restores our relationship with Him. He no longer holds our sin against us. Biblical forgiveness, as God calls His people to practice it, is the willing decision to release an offender from the debt of wrongdoing, to let go of resentment and the desire for vengeance, and to extend grace and mercy in love, just as God in Christ has forgiven us.

What God Wants Us to Be -Be Faithful

Susan Townsend continues the series, “What God Wants Us to Be.”  This lesson is Be Faithful.  In Scripture, faithfulness describes steadfast loyalty, unwavering trustworthiness, and consistent obedience to God over time. It means remaining firm in one’s commitment, even when circumstances are difficult or obedience comes at a cost. True biblical faithfulness is more than a feeling or good intention, it is a settled devotion expressed through perseverance, integrity, and obedience. At its core, faithfulness reflects God’s own character: He is dependable, unchanging in His promises, and constant in His love. When God calls His people to be faithful, He invites us to mirror His reliability by walking steadily with Him, trusting Him fully, and honoring Him in every season of life.
