Patrick

      The name Patrick means 'of noble birth'.  The nobility of Patrick's birth stems from his true beginning, which is being part of the royal family of God once he has been born again.  There is no higher calling than to be a part of God’s family and to serve the One and only true god, Jesus Christ. Patrick has not been placed above any of God’s other children, God has just prepared a position for which He expects Patrick to fill.

    Patrick is one to rise above any situation to which he may have to encounter in this life.  Through his walk in this life Pats learns much by observing others and emulating the good quality examples he sees and rejecting the poorer, inferior qualities or traits he sees in others.  He is an apt pupil and puts what he learns to good use.  He is one to contemplate and set goals.  He aims high, reaches high and he succeeds.

    Patrick tries to keep his head out of the clouds even though he does have lofty ideas and ideals.  He does his best to ignore the unpleasant circumstances that find their way into his life.  Even so, he deals with them.  He does this with grace as becoming one of noble birth.  Not looking down on others that are not as fortunate as he, Patrick gives a helping hand to any that may have need of his abilities and talents.

James 2:8  . . . fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. .
