Love is Patient

It might take a second to load...but you've gotta see this. It was shown in my educational technology class and during my final seminar class in Costa Rica. It's crazy. CLEARLY patience is more difficult now than ever before in history.(there IS sound)




*Patience means watching and listening when you think you already know the situation.
*Patience means a change in pace.
*Patience challenges your trust in God. "Impatience is a form of unbelief. It's what we begin to feel when we start to doubt the wisdom of God's timing or the goodness of God's guidence."
*Patience lets someone else be first. Even if you think you deserve it.
*We often put "peace" and "patience" together. But times of patience are hardly peaceful. Just sit in a hospital waiting room for a little bit.
*Patience acts out faith. It makes you think "I might be wrong about all this".
*In commentaries the love of patience means "a love that never gives up" or "love suffers long" or "an enduring love" or "slow to become resentful".
*Patience is a choice. This means love is a choice...
*Patience when someone doesn't deserve it. If it was patience when they did deserve it, it wouldn't be grace or love.
*"Hurry kills everything. From compassion to creativity"
*I think patience is scary to us. We are so quick to react because we don't want to appear as if we've been walked all over or taken advantage of.
