Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can - working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. I can be draining and feel like a waste of time, yet somehow I have found that it usually pays off in the end. patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well. We were rewarded for our commitment and even if circumstances don't go our way, the satisfaction of knowing that you did all that you could is somehow worth it. So here I stand, here I stay. Will you stand with me?
