Patience is a Grace

People do not need to be impatient. We all have the capacity to be good, to be understanding and to be patient. When people get annoyed, there is nobody to blame but the self. It is not the faulth of the trafficor the repeated mistakes of the house helpers. The problem is not outside . The problem is within you..The problem is yourself.

When those around us shows arrogance and hardness of heart, we respond to them by showing them more arrogance, more hatred, more violence, and more resentment. Does it improve the situation. No, it just gives us a little ego massage but the number of impatient person in the world would have increased because of us. If you cannot find patient and to be kind and to be gentle and then you will find others changing for the better because of the good seed you sowed.

We can learned again to be patient, by allowing the patient and kind people that we know, to teach us. The lives of the great men and women reminds us that we can that we can still make our lives sublime. If they can be a good and admirable in patience why can't I? Let us allow others to inspire us.

The best and most patient "Other" who can teach us to be patient is Jesus Himself. Patiernce is a grace. Patience is a gift from God that we can ask for, work for and harness. Perhaps one of the truly major reasons why we are impatient is that we have not fully appreciated the patient love of God.. How can God be so good? Is it that easy? Yes. indeed it is. God is quick to forgive and very slow to judge.

Our impatience with the shortcomings of those around us could be a reflection of our own failure to accept patiently and humbly our own limitations.

The root could be our pride. We we want to see progress immediately. Impatience could be selfishness nand pride in another form.
