Daily Bible Thought > James 5:11 - Patience of Job

James 5:11 Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

Here James make a simple but profound statement we should consider. Love does not take away, love can, and does, only adds to ones life, if its is the pure unadulterated love of God. Mankind has a love of the fleshly mind which often fails us, but God's love can only bless us if we endure in it, but how?

First, we acknowledge there are two types of love, one is human love under the fleshly mind based upon earned merit, and the other love is a Royal law, which is given freely from God. God's love is the supreme law of moral goodness, it cannot fail, why? Because its is YHWH Himself! It is the incorruptible law of the all creation visible and invisible, it cannot be harmed or corrupted by the mind of the flesh sold under sins and its laws of death and corruption.

Hence, endurance in God's love, will not fail us, but blesses us, adding to our life eternally, but endurance in human love always fails us into, death, bitter envy, and jealousy. The brothers and sisters here James speaks too in his letter had failed in enduring in human wisdom and love, they were producing fruit not of God's love, but rather human love based upon earned merit by rules of laws, causing them judgments, and division within the body of Christ Jesus. They could not endure in such human love without grumbling, they needed the love of God, which is a free gift, given each one of them by Holy Spirit, so they could endure in joy.

They had become bitter with fruits of the fleshly mind not trusting, or putting faith in God's love, unseen, by human eyes, and only obtained by endurance in faith.
