Give Patience Away
Be generous with patience. Give it away freely to yourself and others. You will find the benefits delightful.
But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.
--- Luke 8:15
My own reflection on this Thought:
* Living in a big city like Jakarta is quite stressful. The traffic jam, the flood, or even the beggar who's singing while you're in the traffic light --- all might become a stressor in your life. At this kind of stage, is hard for you to be patient while the city's pace is making you more impatient. Not to mention the instant habit--- such as instant noodle and coffee, all creates an impatient attitude.
But today's Word of God reminds us to be patient. You might wonder then, HOW???
We might feel it's impossible to be patient with ourselves then how are we going to be patient with others? All we can do is just ask God and believe that with His Grace, He'll enable us to be more patient in each of the time.
Just give yourself some space... Be patient! (-fon-)
