Patience
We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next (Romans 5:3).
Yesterday we talked about commitment. Once you’ve committed to an endeavor, you will need patience to see it through to completion.
Patience will refine and perfect you. Patience is a discipline you must practice if you want to break free from the myriad of things that can plague and pollute your soul!
Jesus said that it is only by exercising patience that you will learn to “possess your soul” (Luke 21:19). As you draw closer to your authentic self, you must learn to take possession of your soul by mastering the art of patience.
Developing patience is key to growing into your authentic self and fulfilling your best destiny: “For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God” (Heb. 10:36 AMP).
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. —Henry David Thoreau
