Saints, Patience Is Inseparable From Productive Silence.
The desire to prove a point in a hurry, make others understand quickly, clear the air rapidly, and be in the good books of many is innate in many. Naturally, everyone wants to be loved and be in good rapport with others, and because of this longing, man tilts towards the talking side so much.
Although life operates on relationships if any desire to have a successful relationship then one must understand that majority of people hear what they choose to hear. They understand things from their perspective and view life from a personal point of view. Their communications stem from selfishness, and they rapport/ relate based on personal interests influenced by nature and nuture.
Sequel to the proceeding, talking could prove unproductive at some time in relationships. The reason for this is that people only get to understand your point of view if they can stand on the same plane as you. Also, they often learn and gain understanding via experiences, so until they get to experience, the use of words does not particularly make sense.
For successful relationships to be attained, both parties must develop patience. patience is the ability of both parties to quietly and confidently wait until they both enter into the viewing point of each other, only then can they understand each other's perspective, and many times This is achieved via experience.
Productive silence is silence backed up with faith in God, in His word, and prayers while one does his own business and keeps at his task working till it produces a result.
Productive silence is the strength of the saint while he/she exercises patience.
For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:
Isaiah 30:15
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1Thesselonians 4:11
Patience is proven over time, not overnight, in the process of time taken to prove patience, productive silence is required for faith to produce results.
Beloved, Let patience have her perfect work in you.
