Cheerfully Patient
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. James 5:7
With longsuffering, forbearing one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Revelation 14:12
In each of these verses, God calls us to be patient--cheerfully constant--patiently waiting for the coming of the Lord; patiently working on my relationshionships with other believers and patiently willing to obey His commands and precepts.
--Jerry Proctor
Every joy or trial falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love.
We may trust Him fully, all for us to do,
They who trust Him wholly, find Him wholly true.
--Frances R. Havergal
