Tolerance Comes With Age – Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. Our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps; thanks for coming along on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Today is Day 1583 of our Trek, and it’s time for your daily snippet of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today’s trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:
Today’s quote is from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and it is: Tolerance comes with age. I see no fault committed that I myself could not have committed at some time or other.
Tolerance Comes With Age
As I grow older, I do find that I have become more tolerant of others. I trust that will be true of you also. The more we experience the ebbs and flows of life, we realize that we have all committed faults and have had failures due to making unwise decisions, or responding to others in a manner that was not kind. We understand more clearly that it is best to be patient and offer grace to others that may now be in the same situation that we once were. It would not be wise to gain the moniker of being a grumpy older man or woman. Instead, we need to mellow a bit and show that we have also gained wisdom that has come through the lessons of life with our age. The longer we live, the more opportunity for a positive impact on those we interact with. Especially as Christ-followers, we need to make sure that our speech and actions are seasoned with salt and be open to sharing our wisdom with those who seek it. The kingdom of God grows one person at a time as we encourage and build others up, teaching them love and showing them tolerance and kindness in all interactions.
As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience.
Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good.
As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, I would ask you to please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along on Monday for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.’
