May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ.
and into the patient waiting for the coming for Christ: The phrase "patient waiting" (hupomonee) means "a patient, steadfast waiting for" (Thayer 644-2-5281). It is clear the Thessalonians are eagerly awaiting the second coming of Christ (1 Thessalonians 1:10); but while they patiently wait, one major caution is that they not become weary in well doing. Though faithful disciples will be eager for the coming of Christ (2 Peter 3:12), they will not become fretful and wavering because of their desire for it.
