Patience. For Reflection


This is a difficult subject, because we already know what is evident. There are many occasions where every person can write his/her own book, but when we reach the subject of "Patience," this has scientific and psychological explanations, which truly are a play of words. Patience, can only be achieved with great faith, spirit of prayer, and when we sincerely want to break all barrier and we, in fact, know and understand the need to look for help, support, assistance of the Divine Spiritual Power. Patience, embraces many areas, because is not only tolerance, resistance, but much more. Patience is a discipline, a clear vision that illuminates our lives, because of the Love that God puts in our hearts, since, in fact, we already had lost patience, then, is a continuous work, just like the voyage of a ship by the sea. If we hurry, if we get frustrated, this will bring violence, sadness, instability and all type of rejection. To have patience with us, is related to self love. To have patience with our fellow man, is related to Compassion. The practical form to define Patience, is to understand that life is lived one moment at a time, and perfection is only found in God. Every time, that we support progress and we help good, we become good, we transmit good, we realize good, which means that good will be what we have achieved, what we have obtained, and this we will not lose, but will become reality. And besides, we will help paths, journeys and lives. And then, we will not have to look back in retrospect, wondering what would have happened with more patience and understanding. The lack of patience, is a clear invitation to the most deplorable forms of violence and drama, with sad outcomes of pride and vanity. God is patient with us, because he wants the best in our lives. If we try to reflect spirituality, we can't overlook this vision: Man is on earth and the universe, not as owner and lord, but as friend, brother, as enamored of Love and of life, which is present on everything that exists. Patience is to open our inner light, a little more every new day, and when this light can flow, then, we certainly will be able to see God, face to face.
