Patience

PATIENCE is among the Christian virtues what iron is among the metals. Its value is in its utility, and not in the show it makes. It comes to us on all occasions, great and small. For the want of it many prayers are hindered, and many really converted persons backslide. If you are defective in this most necessary grace, come to God for it. Wrestle with Heaven until you obtain it. No matter what your natural disposition may be, God can give you an even, quiet temper that nothing can disturb—the peace of God that passeth all understanding.
