Thank you for your post on this valuable trait PATIENCE and temptations. I have learned that with patience one can overcome much!! Not many can tolerate being around impatient attitudes. One can also lose friends, opportunities and others things, it never helps solve any problem, nor is it ever a help in treading temptations down.

From The Law of Love by Ann Beals’ she says:

Impatience:
This false trait usually comes from thwarted self-will that is intolerant of delay, opposition, or obstacles to what it wants or expects of others. Impatience can go from irritation to anger to rage over having to wait for any reason. It puts pressure on others by being aggressive . restless, agitated, ill-tempered with them. An impatient mentality is often impetuous or impulsive. This trait is seldom classified as sin , yet it is deadly sin. Habitual impatience can lead to difficult, stubborn, even seemingly incurable, physical problems.

With such a description of what impatience includes shouldn’t we all prayerful ask and do our part to be patient?



Love is the liberator.
