The Key of Patience

 

Patience is the ability to endure difficult times, being patient is a virtue. Most people are in a rush to get anything. If you are patient , that does not mean you are stupid, it just means you are waiting for the best time for things to happen.

According to Joyce Meyer, a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you're able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it's about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
Are you busy fretting about on what the situations of your life will be, I will want you to take a cue from this story below:

There were two trees, the apple and mango tree. The mango and apple tree were nurtured at the same time, but unluckily for the apple tree, the mango tree grew at a rapid rate and was admired by everyone that passed through the garden. The apple tree was downcast and kept asking itself why he was not highly favored, it kept blaming itself.
It just felt it was a nobody and nothing good could come out of it.
On a particular day, a merchant was in search of mango trees for a particular business he wanted to venture in and decided to purchase the mangoes from the owners at a ridiculous price, the owners did not agree at first but decided to let go, that was how the mango tree was chopped down and all the mangoes were collected which brought about a drastic end to the mango tree.
The apple tree was shocked at the sudden disappearance of the mango tree and decided to change its attitudes because he thought he was a nobody, not knowing that all things work together for the best.
As the apple tree started to appreciate itself, the seeds started sprouting, and apples were growing on the trees, once again passersby tend to notice the garden once more and started appreciating the beauty of the garden.
However, on a fateful day, the owners' daughter was sick and she had to stay indoors for somewhile due to her health condition. Then, after so many days, she decided to go out to receive some fresh air, she opted to stay under the apple tree and she noticed she felt much better when she was under the apple tree. Maybe the apple trees' attitudes played a big role in her life.
So, that was how the apple tree was kept and was loved by all, children from other neighborhood also came to play in the garden.
This illustrates that no matter what we are looking forward to, we should try to exercise patience and have a positive attitude during our waiting period. The apple tree thought it was not going to make it again, but once its perspectives changed everything turned around for the apple tree.
No matter what you are going through just hold on and be optimistic that everything will end well. Have a blessed day guys, love you all!!!!!!!!!
