Friday's Five - Patience


"The work that God does in us when we wait is usually more important than the thing for which we wait!”
― Erwin W. Lutzer
"Patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you are waiting.” 
― Ziad K. Abdelnour
"Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” 
― David G. Allen
"Let nothing disturb you, nothing frighten you, all things are passing, God is unchanging. Patience gains all; nothing is lacking to those who have God: God alone is sufficient.” 
― St. Teresa of Avila
“There are seasons when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act.” 
― Margaret Bottome

Patience


Patience is a waiting comfort
Like
A ray of sunlight cheers a heavy heart
A drop of dust crowns an ocean of trials
A beautiful song immerses a symphony of heaven
A gentle kiss ignites an expectation of heaven
A lonely tear comforts a soul with hope
A star lit night engulfs the cares of longing
Patience is a longing embrace
Patience is a coming reward
Patience is a trial endured
Patience is expected grace.
