Patience Patience Number 15 in a Series of 36 on Character Patience Patience is being chased out the back door by the now generation which wants instant everything.
Patience is active waiting.
Patience is tolerating all sorts of inconveniences, annoyances, trouble, trial, even persecution for a desired, glorious goal. Patience is praying without giving God a deadline. Patience, which is a virtue, is not to be confused with indifference, which is a vice. Delaying a purchase until you have the cash. Delaying a marriage until you are sure of God's will and are adequately prepared.
