"Patience isn't passive resignation at all, but peaceful relinquishment. It involves placing our lives and the lives of others in the Lord's hands. Trusting Him with our agendas, our timetables, and our reputations. Relying on God so we neither fear nor become uneasy over delays. Patience sets us free to wait rather than mutter; it enables us to be patient with others because God has been so patient with us."
