Dr. Grassi cites scripture in sustaining patience:
- Romans 8:28 ~ GOD works for the good of those who ♥love♥ Him ✌
- Genesis 12:2, 7; Hebrews 6:15 ~ Abraham receiving the ☼promise☼ later in life
- 1 Thessalonians 5:14; Galatians 6:10 ~ Paul advising patience with other †faithful† people
I read his testament on patience yesterday, which was wonderful timing because it was just what I needed in multiple aspects of my life:
- getting through my dissertation defenses
- seeking a career advancement
- dealing with difficult people
Before I read his passage, I realized how patience helped me through those obstacles mentioned above:
- I received encouragement from my professors
- I received my latest teaching assignment
- I received a fresh perspective on someone
These were reasons to thank GOD!
When I went through my Confirmation classes, I sought patience as a virtue and still continue pursuing it through all aspects of my life. We live in a world of
- instant gratification
- sense of urgency
Yet …
If we patiently wait, we’ll have more reason to ☼celebrate.
As we commonly say, and I first heard from my eighth grade math teacher:
Good things come to those who wait, for they will be ☼rewarded☼ ten-fold.
Plus, as my buddy, Big D has mentioned:
Anticipation creates ☼excitement.
