Love is Patient

In the love letter that God has given us in 1 Corinthians 13, the very first description of Love is: Love is Patient.

I always thought that as long as you love someone, patience just come along with it. I thought wrong.

I gotta admit that patience has NEVER been a virtue of mine. It takes lots of courage and energy for me to say "It's ok. I love this person thus I will see past the imperfections/wrongs/etc.".

When I look at my sister and mother and best friend, I felt that I failed quite a bit in this area. Being a quick tempered person, learning how to be patient and giving takes a whole lot out of me. That said, this virtue is still one thing that I want to attain.

Praying.

You are patient in your own ways.. At least, there are times when I feel "WAH... I didn't know my sister is that tolerant!" :)
