PATIENCE

Patience

"Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain."
James 5:7

And so we wait. The Lord's timing is perfect and our patience is imperfect.
