Love, Faith & Patience

Anything can be overcome with Love, Faith, and Patience. All three go hand in hand and struggle without each other. At any point in your life if you wanted to make a change, if you wanted turn things around, or get things back on track then Love, Faith and Patience is what you need.

Love is the most powerful force on the planet. Love is a common attribute that we can share with our creator. God’s love for us is so powerful that he sent his only son to die on the cross so that he may forgive us, sinners, people who are not worthy, people who are inherently wrong, people who are prone to make mistakes and transgress against him. God’s love is unmatched in that it is nearly infinite; he always makes a way, and never gives up on us, even when we sometimes give up on him. That being said it is the love that drives us and our lives, our love for our families, our love of God that makes us do the right thing, even our love of ourselves, our morals, who we are and want to be that makes us strive in the right direction. When love is focused it can have great results, it can make you the best at anything from music, to sports, or it can make you the best person in the world to someone. Focus your love, your passion, your drive, and you can achieve many things however, love needs its partners.

Faith is equally important with love; I believe God has faith in every person, no matter how far they have erred to make their way back onto the righteous path. Without faith many things are not worth your efforts. How can one achieve anything, or succeed if they do not believe it is possible? How many games will a team win if nobody on it thinks winning is possible? How far can one go if they don’t believe there is a glimmer of hope? Your attitude is so important in so many ways that simply believing in yourself can make all the difference. If you believe or have faith that you can accomplish something, then you are on the right track so long as you have the love and their binding factor, patience.
Patience is rooted in love and faith, if your love a child or a person you will have patience for them, also if you have faith that they will get it together or get it right then your patience will grow. God’s patience is incredible because for every person on this planet he will wait up to their entire lifetime so that they may find him. As with God or anything else in life, things may not come when you want them to. You must be able to endure the hardships, endure the fact that things will get better before they get worse, and have the patience to withstand it all without losing love, or faith, because without them you will lose your patience.

If one can focus their love, stand on their faith and use both to strengthen their patience, then they are truly limitless in what they accomplish. Whether you are Michael Jordan or Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Einstein or even Barack Obama, the only way they could be who they are, as good as they are, and accomplish what they did is by using these three powers. By having Love for what they did and their purpose, by having faith that they could achieve what they wanted, and having the patience to endure until they were there, they like many others accomplished great things. So if you have a goal, or know that you can do better or need to make a change, then find your love, faith and patience and give them your all.

Frustration

It can be so hard to do the simplest things
As a real man you try to do the right thing
You do the best you can to be her everything
However you are still and always will be a man
As strong as your are you aren’t invulnerable
There is only so much one can take, every man has that breaking point
You have your wants, needs, weaknesses and imperfections
Something so small so basic, so fundamentally natural
Could ignite a reaction that you control
However it still burns inside
Normally her looks, her touch, her smell
All could melt you in an instant
But the fury turns your skin to steel
Your eyes are covered with shades that block out her charm
And just for a moment your feel the coldness
The absence of her warm love, your own darkness inside
Time always heals wounds, but you wonder how long will it take?
Your mind begins to think dangerously
You wonder why she does things, and then think why do you?
Does she really trust you? Is there something I haven’t done right?
What must I do, what haven’t I done????
Then just as fast as your heart turned to stone
Your remember the warmth, that love
And you turn around and go back,
All you want in the world is for things to go well
For her to want the same things you want
For you both to make each other happy and fill each other’s void
Why is this so difficult, why has it claimed so many casualties
But good then again, good things always take hard work and sacrifice
