...I chose to be patient many times...
Last Saturday, my Boy Friend Forever Macky teach me how to drive. While on the way to our training ground, he assured me it's easy - the same principle as I drive a tricycle. At first he is mellow to speak. Clutch-primera. Gas. Preno. Clutch-reverse.... After few minutes, he started yelling. STOP!... ANO BA YAN!... LOOK INFRONT OF YOU NOT TO THE GEAR!... TURN RIGHT! BRAKE! + scratching his head!... I kept silent and continue to obey even if I was punched by unkind & impatient chain of commands.
When we got home, I asked him. What if I am still your girlfriend, will you shout at me?
He burst out laughing.
Bill McGlashen said, patience is something you admire in the driver behind you, but not in one ahead. Barbara Johnson said, patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.
Do you know one person who is sickly impatient? Ouch!
We need God's Rx - a pill of patience many times a day or in any particular situation in our family, work, ministry, and heart's desires.
God's word in Proverbs 14:29 says, A PATIENT man has great understanding.
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit that should be seen in us e.
Prayer:
Lord please give me the patience to listen, the courage to speak, the honor to follow, and the wisdom to lead. -- Author Unknown
