S2 Ep. 115 The Element Called Patience

Send us Fan MailThe quest to succeed and succeed can sometimes be overwhelming, and we somewhat lose sight of the true and accurate steps to take, leaning on what God has provided us through His Spirit in our spirit. As a person of faith, the Christian faith, I have come to appreciate and embrace the teachings from the Bible and build my life around it.One such teaching is the fruit of the human spirit from Galatians 5:22, and they are listed as follows; love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. I have come to view them as elements that we have been imbued with, and as a matter of living, we are expected to lean in towards them and draw from them on our journey here on this side of eternity. Out of the nine, one that resonates with me is Patience. Our lives here on earth very much is established in time and space. One can safely assert that it follows a pattern contingent on the laws of time and its sequence, and time is a value that a patient mind can understand.The etymology of the word Patience gives some details that cannot but be recognized;c. 1200, pacience, "quality of being willing to bear adversities, calm endurance of misfortune, suffering, etc.," from Old French pacience, "patience; sufferance, permission" (12c.) and directly from Latin patientia "the quality of suffering or enduring; submission," also "indulgence, leniency; humility; submissiveness; submission to lust;" literally "quality of suffering." It is an abstract noun formed from the adjective patientem (nominative patiens) "bearing, supporting; suffering, enduring, permitting; tolerant," but also "firm, unyielding, hard," used of persons as well as of navigable rivers, present participle of pati "to endure, undergo, experience," which is of uncertain origin.https://www.etymonline.com/word/patienceFrom the description above, without Patience, it will be impossible to achieve much in life, given that in this dimension in that we exist and live, things happen in time, and being timely depends on one's patience threshold.In this episode of the Word Café, I will be talking about Patience from my experience. Through Patience, so much can be achieved.Support the showYou can support this show via the link below;https://www.buzzsprout.com/1718587/supporters/new
