Seriously, how do you cultivate such patience and forbearance without chemicals?
I love Truth and Reason -- the Logos. He taught me I must love people. He gives me the love since I can't do a single thing unless He does it in me, both the choosing and the doing.
Okay, the real answer is I have no clue, but I thank God and, by His gift, remember that I can irritate others too.
At least some portion of the anger directed to us is because people really see us as threats to the Gospel and tempters of souls. Of course I think they are wrong about us, but they are right to love the Gospel and to care for God's people.
