If patience doesn’t have its perfect work in us, we will not become the person of resilience God is developing. As we go through, we become tender in places where we were hardened before. We become bold where we were timid. We gain perspective where we are ignorant. We develop commitment in place of negligence, and a backbone for cowardice.
We can look back at the journey and see God has changed our entire identity. God sets us on a divine mission to prosper us, not to harm us… to develop us, not to destroy us. Let patience have its perfect work that we may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing (James 1:4).
To God be the glory.
