The power of patience is transforming, if given the chance.
“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 Sheen
The Power of Patience
The power of patience is a strange concept indeed.
It takes what we’ve longed for so much, and makes it so much more.
It sometimes makes the thing sought after, not what we seek at all.
It gives us more than what we ever even thought to ask for.
The power of patience can change how we think; how we live.
It frees us from the things that can distract us; that take us off track.
It gives us the ability to see what really matters; that which is important.
We often realize that we already have all that we long for; that there is nothing we lack.
The power of patience is transforming, if given the chance.
It can spawn a newfound hope, we can endure, and when we endure we become strong.
In turn, no matter what in our waiting causes us to stumble, we never fall.
And isn’t it amazing how through patience the waiting period never seems as long?

Like the old saying “patience makes perfect,” and it also produces power. When you find yourself having to wait for something that you desperately long for, may you tap into the power of patience. It is a strength that is definitely worth waiting for…patiently.
Peace and love,
