Patience is Always Needed 12-15-08

Patience is always needed. You will always hear these words. Why is patience so important? Patience is something that eventually will grow. Its not like you have patience and you'll have it. Patience also helps you in life such as anger.

Anger is something much more scarier than pride. Why? The reason is because anger can hurt someone physically but pride just proud. How does anger relate to patience? Well, how about if someone did something that made you angry, then patience can help you. Patience can help calm your anger down because patience give you a chance to decide whether to choice to wrong choice which is to get mad and throw stuff or calm down with God's help. Patience is a really hard thing.

Another example is Abraham. You know Abraham, the father of many nations but yet he had a lot of mistake. One was having a son. What Abraham did was that he took a wife name Hagar and had Ishmael rather than to wait for Sarah. Well guess what now! Ishmael's descendant is mostly Muslim and Muslim fights with Isaac's(Isaac is Abraham's son who is from Sarar) descendant. They hate each other. Now think. If Abraham had patient and didn't get Hagar as his wife, wouldn't this battle between Iraq and Israel be here? See how without patience, it makes a whole different. (Thank You for our teacher, Mr Kim, for teaching us about Abraham).

Patience is something that is hard to get. You need to experience a lot to really get use to using it. Aren't you happy that God created this? If God didn't create patience in our life, then our history would really change. Hopefully you and I will learn how to use our patience correctly and how to first think before doing.

Colossains 1:10-12
