There are many aspects to our personality that determine what kind of person we’re making of ourselves.
Among them are: Empathy, passion, honesty, compassion, kindness and patience.
Of course, it would be ideal if we possessed all the above in large quantities.
I feel, however, without patience, we sabotage all the others.
I’m talking about patience with yourself, patience with others and patience with life.
WITH OURSELVES: No you’re not perfect and you never will be, but our gracious GOD wanted you on this planet. He has been very patient with you. Why not follow HIS example?
WITH OTHERS: The greatest detriment to a healthy relationship is a temper. And you can’t take it back once it’s out of the box.
WITH LIFE: I know you’ve had your disappointments, but I can show you people I know very well in Detroit’s inner city who have lived a life of despair from their very first breath.
Develop more patience!
If not today, when?
