The power of patience

Meditating can be so useful because it is the very essence of patience. Patience is not about passivity or resignation to one's condition or fate. It is not an act of suffering, rather in today's world patience is active and positive. Frustration is not the key to any door. Patience is a lifelong spiritual practice as well as a way to find emotional freedom. Every morning, noon, and night there are plenty of good reasons to be impatient. Another long line. A goal isn't materializing fast enough. People don't do what they're supposed to. Rejection. Disappointment. How to deal with it all? You can drive your-self crazy, behave irritably, feel victimized, or try to force an outcome; all self-defeating reactions that alienate others and bring out the worst in them. Or, you can learn to transform frustration with patience. God offers much wisdom in the saying, "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." God is sovereign. Our activity in this world is meaningful as we rely on His wisdom, His timing, and His goodness.
