God Puts Up With You

I loved this line. I am sure there is much more love behind God's statement of this, but the way it is so often used today, the curtness of it just made me laugh - and yet also seems to hit home better than the flowery language of old does much of time.

And yes, I of course, could learn a lot from this about looking for the good in those who frustrate me.

So, I know how I feel if I'm putting up with someone, sometimes with lots of patience and sometimes feeling like I am really holding back, do you think that is how God feels? at times?

He does seem to warn the Israelites (and us) that he's holding back His anger, so I imagine it's probably a somewhat similar feeling :)
