Do you ever find yourself getting frustrated with people? \u00a0Let me re-phrase because the question is ridiculous. \u00a0I know you do<\/em> get frustrated from time-to-time. \u00a0The question is how often and why?\u00a0I’ve certainly been there (way too many times)! \u00a0In some ways, I can be extremely patient–but then in other ways, well…<\/p>\n I realized a couple of weeks ago that my frustration level has been a little bit on the rise. \u00a0It bothered me that I was getting bothered so much by how much people were bothering me. \u00a0So, I’ve been thinking about it, trying to put my finger on the real issue.<\/p>\n I wonder if the heart of the problem\u00a0is as basic as forgetting that people we grow impatient or frustrated with are sinners? \u00a0Do we forget they are naturally<\/em> imperfect? \u00a0Of course, on the other hand, much of the reason we get frustrated with others is that we forget we<\/i> are imperfect! \u00a0I get angry because someone is not taking care of my<\/i> needs as I<\/i> feel they should. \u00a0They are wasting my<\/i> valuable time. \u00a0Yeah, pride definitely plays a big role and, yes, pride is sin.<\/p>\n
