How to Define Patience
How people define patience depends on who you ask. Some people feel entitled to have everything done their way and think they're being patient when they don't cause a commotion when things don't go their way. Others think they're being patient if they've pushed in front of other people to get in front of a line but then wait for the next available person to help them. And still others define patience as waiting in line for hours for tickets to their favorite music artist, but can't wait five extra minutes to get out of church after services on Sunday morning. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to get better at being patient. It's not hopeless, it just isn't easy. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to wait for God to show you what's next. And of course, God always looks at things differently than we do. His concept of time is completely opposite of ours.
