Patience.

By John Nevins Andrews

“In your patience possess ye your souls.” Nothing is more foolish than the spirit of murmuring. If we could realize that God suffers us to be afflicted in order to teach us patience, we should understand that it is not the affliction which should trouble us, but the lack of patience in us which caused the Lord to suffer us to be afflicted. Our care need only be with reference to ourselves. When we have learned submission and patience our afflictions will be removed. Their work will be done. Dying to self is a painful process, but it is worth all that it costs. Let us not shrink from the anguish of the needed crucifixion.
