How would you rate yourself on your patience level?
Patience comes by Loving as described in Galatians it is a Bi-Product of Love! I am sure you have observed yourself or someone you know with lack of patience, most of the time Pride is evident when patience to nonexistent. As Christians seeking to be Christ like this is one of the ways we can measure our progress, it is very simple the more patient we are the more Christ like we are.
The lack of patience I have often separates me from God because I am the type of a person they call a doer (I make a decision and then just act on it without pausing and seeking God). Yea I am good at getting things done but often find myself down the road wondering where God is, I realize that he wanted me to take another road then the one I went down. I know no one else has ever done this!
Have you ever been watching someone do something and thought I can do that faster?
I actually have done this quite often especially with my daughter, what usually happens is that I just jump in and do it. When I do I have just taught her to be dependent and possibly taken some of her self-confidence.
How about this one: Have you tried to learn something from an impatient person and then became impatient and frustrated yourself? Yep many times for me….although this has supported me in being more patient because I know how someone feels while another is impatient.
Write down one thing you can do today to exhibit more patience in your life!
