The Power of Patience

“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is “timing” it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” -Fulton J. Sheen Patience is the strength of a man with purpose. He does not fear of being drawn away from his dreams because he knows that achieving them is only a matter of time. He is neither worrisome nor quick tempered. He knows that these things will only hinder him from reaching his heart’s true desires. Rather than be troubled, he waits patiently for the right time. He saves his strength for the right moment. He inspires himself each day so he won’t give up just when he is about to reach his dreams. He works without grumbling, but cheerfully while perfecting his skills. He doesn’t give in to temptations to take a quick route or a quick fix when such things will yield only temporary results. Patience guides us to the right path and takes us away from thieves that take away the harvest we desire to reap. “Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true. But the time is coming quickly, and what I show you will come true. It may seem slow in coming, but wait for it; it will certainly take place, and it will not be delayed.” – Habakkuk 2:3, GNT
