The Wisdom of Patience

By Elijah Edache Ehoche

 

Success in the christian race aside salvation is made possible by acquiring/developing and manifesting virtues like patience. I mean patience with God, oneself and other people. According to the author, life is worth living if lived in patient principles and eternal damnation can be avoided, walking through life in patience.
Patience is perseverance, endurance, forebearance, ability to wait a little or stay action for a moment so to achieve desired results. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. These are interdependent for a fruitful Christian life.
There are really no shortcuts in life. Between every initiative and the product is the process that demands patience. This occurs in different shades and several experiences dotted throughout scriptures. It is noteworthy, that the pains and calamity of impatience far outways the rewards of patience! This is a critical choice that has to be made.
I am richly blessed by this timely piece and do recommend it to every serious minded Christian willing to have a quality and productive life here on earth and make heaven seamlessly.

Patience is one of the most misunderstood and unwanted but life dependent virtues.

That is why we struggle; end up in trouble, court cases, prisons, debts, preventable diseases and allergies, painful divorces, break of trusts and friendships, hopelessness, abortion of long dreams and eternal damnation amongst a hosts of others.

Patience is more of an attitude as well as ability than mere waiting. The attitude you put on when in a fix. It takes patience to know your opportunities, prepare for it adequately and strike at the right time when the chances of missing are lowest.
