These are my thoughts, please share yours.



 



5 We should use diligence or understanding not just an understanding that the world has but use a God given understanding. We should not just know thing that of are Christ but also be like Christ for some we are the only christ they will see outside their judgment so we should do our best to mirror Christ.



 



6 Knowledge is important but more important when the knowledge is God given and is knowledge about the Godly things. Patience is something most people struggle with, I have struggled with it but I grew because of Him and He can allow you to have more patience as well. God is patience it is important we have patience as well, developing patience is usually not easy though. Patience allows God to take of things in His time and gives us what we need to wait on Him.



 



7 Kindness is important we should be kind but never at the cost of sinning against God. People may think we are nice until they question our Lord but, I would rather them question my kindness than mock my Lord. Those who do not say bad things about our Lord may view us as nice but we should never be door mats for people to walk all over and take advantage of us.
