Paul sets the bar high for the Ephesians and us when we writes: "I a prisoner of the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call your received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace..." (Eph 4: 1-2) Most of us cannot meet the standard in all of these admirable qualities, and when we do meet such a person, our hearts beat in admiration and desire to emulate such an outstanding Christian. We wonder why this quiet, humble person can cause such a stir with people of all ages. Perhaps it's because his or her mere presence is an inspiration and stirs a desire to be like that, or gives us confidence that it is possible for a human being to have such qualities. Whatever disposition we have been given, there is hope that striving to be humble, gentle, patient and an instrument of unity and peace is not a waste of our time but a noble effort that will bear fruit "in due season.".
