It is very easy to get mad at the man next to you when you are on the highway and they completely cut you off and stop almost right in front of you. Youre driving down the road, following all of the rules and all of a sudden the guy just cuts in front of you. Whats the first thing that you want to do? Probably let out your anger. It takes forgiveness to move forward but it takes patience to forgive. Patience is the key to make you stop and think of what Jesus would do in a particular situation, thinking how He would move forward. Impatience leads to massive self centeredness, while patience leads to acknowledgement and surroundings. Here are some things to think about when it comes to patience:
- Have I taken the time to see what God would want me to do?
- Is what I am doing lining up with the Word of God?
- Have I reacted to something or have I actually responded
- Have I taken time to calm down, evaluate, and think
These are just some things to think about when you are in a situation and the last thing on your mind is the Love of Christ, which should be the first thing that you show. So stop, think, pray, and show patience.
