Let us consider how much patience Jesus had with the disciples: often they did not understand his words (Lk 9:51-56), sometimes they did not get along with each other (Mk 10:41), for a long time they did not succeed in accepting essential aspects of his preaching, for example, service (Lk 22:27). Nevertheless, Jesus chose them and continued to believe in them. This is important, the Lord chose us to be Christians. And we are sinners, we commit one sin after another, but the Lord continues to believe in us. This is wonderful!
