Patience...

...is perhaps one of the hardest thing in our 'instantaneous' fastfood society. Yet it would appear to be a trait that is necessary to having peace and living a fulfilled life.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4 NIV

How often do I want an instant answer, an instant reward, an easy fix.

It is obvious from nature that things take time to grow and mature AND yet we ignore this and demand now now now.

I sometimes wonder in our busyness and demanding and incessant noise how much we are missing the stillness and peace of Christ.

And in that comes a strengthening of our faith.
