Patience Under Pressure

Pressure breeds hurry and harshness. Sometimes when we get under pressure, we have work responsibilities, responsibilities with the family, responsibilities in our ministries. We get so wound up by all of these responsibilities where now we become moody, we're short with people, we're not really communicating like we should with those around us. Maybe while talking with people, our mind is somewhere else. Well, that's a sign that the pressure is getting to you. But you'll notice that as you mature, even under pressure, you can pause to be kind. Even under pressure, your tone of voice is soft. Even under pressure, you're being patient with people. Even under pressure, you're not rushing beyond people as if they're not important. Why? Because you're maturing now. Because there's strength coming to you.
