“...and bear fruit with patience.” Lk.8 ESV
Patience has at least two sides to it. There is a patience that quietly waits for something to happen and a patience that steadily works to make something happen. The passive side of this virtue is little more than waiting without worry. The proactive side of patience is a resilient spirit, persistently persevering while it waits. But whether we wait actively or passively, we wait, and wait we must, for both require time. Conversations Within” ts 1/16/2015
