Got patience? Got God?
We have need of patience with ourselves and with others; with those below, and those above us, and with our own equals; with those who love us and those who love us not; for the greatest things and for the least; against sudden inroads of trouble, and under our daily burdens; disappointments as to the weather, or the breaking of the heart; in the weariness of the body, or the wearing of the soul; in our own failure of duty, or others’ failure toward us; in every-day wants, or in the aching of sickness or the decay of age; in disappointment, bereavement, losses, injuries, reproaches; in heaviness of the heart; or its sickness amid delayed hopes. In all these things, from childhood’s little troubles to the martyr’s sufferings, patience is the grace of God, whereby we endure evil for the love of God.
—E. B. Pusey
Got patience? Got God? Nice reminder today in this quote/poem above about patience. Today many lack patience. We see it in driving on the roads, at the gym, even at the beach to use the shower. So many are so selfish, they never think about others, they rush people, are rude, and almost run you off the road. I have noticed that you would think older people, seniors, would have more patience, but they don't they are the worst, so impatient and so little education of God sometimes. Yes, God keeps teaching us this important value throughout life, patience, it is a hard one to learn, but one that is very important, it says a lot about a person! Remember God's love!
