Summary

All of life in a fallen world will require us to be patient, to rule over our impatient spirits, to rule our spirit. We do not walk by emotions, or desires, but we learn to walk in obedience to the path God has given. Then, His reward will be sure and generous.

0:00.0	Hi, everyone. Welcome to At Home with Sally. I'm Sally Clarkson, and I have the biggest
0:13.0	privilege in the world to be with so many friends from all over the world who join me every week
0:19.0	to listen to my stories, inspiration, biblical encouragement, and I am just so glad that you're here today.
0:25.6	Thanks so much for joining me.
0:27.6	Hello, my friends. This is Sally Clarkson, and I am in Oxford, and I welcome you to at home with Sally and friends.
0:46.0	I am going to cover today. We're going through a series on the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and today's is one of the worst ones in the world. It's unpatience.
0:59.8	Oh my goodness. I don't know about you, but patience is not my natural virtue. I am a girl who's
1:06.8	fast. I like to get things done. Maybe it's because I had four kids and had to work and had to
1:12.2	homeschool and all these other things. But I'm a fast girl. I like for things to work out well. I work

1:41.1	they get stronger. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not
1:45.6	get weary. They shall walk and not faint. We understand these verses so well, but it's just not something
1:51.4	that is natural to my personality. I was reading, looking some research up on this, and in the Oxford
1:59.6	dictionary, it defines patience as this. The capacity,
2:03.7	which all of us have the capacity, my friends, to accept or tolerate delay. Oh my goodness,
2:10.9	do I have to accept it? Do I have to tolerate it? That's kind of how I normally do it.
2:16.7	My patience is tolerating something, but not necessarily always having the best attitude.
2:23.9	So to accept or tolerate delay problems or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.
2:32.6	So the true foundational understanding of patience is to wait on something,
2:40.8	to look for something to come in the future, to live in the moment today with joy,
2:48.1	cultivating beauty, creating the things that matter without becoming annoyed
