Patience

Romans 5:3..... And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Ephesians 4:2.... With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Hebrews 6:12.... That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

James 1:3.... Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

James 1:4.... But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James 5:7.... Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

James 5:8.... Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Revelation 14:12....   Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

 

 

PATIENCE

Patience is a divine virtue that we are not only badly wanting, but we neglect it most foolishly.

It is an inner assurance of God's unreserved love and unconditional guidance. Patience is God's power hidden in us to weather the teeming storms of life.

If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure.

Failure, at most, precedes success.

But success once achieved, confidence becomes your name.

Have patience in the heart; you will feel that the world is nor only with you and in you, but for you.

Time is a flying bird. Do you want to capture the bird and encage it?

Your fondest dreams will be transformed into fruitful realities if you just know the secret of growing

the patience tree in your heart.

Patience is your sincere surrender to God's Will. This surrender is by no means the effacement of the finite self which you now are, but a total transcendence of your finite existence

to the Infinite Self.

In silence patience speaks to you: "Try to live the inner life. You will not only see and reach your goal, but also become the Goal."

Patience can never be imposed on you from outside.

It is your own inner Wealth, Wisdom, Peace and Victory.

 

 

 

Patience is passion tamed.

The secret of patience is doing something else in the meanwhile

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

All human wisdom is summed up in two words - wait and hope
