Patience is accepting, quiet waiting and enduring astonishing suffering, difficult and adversed situation with optimism and cheerfulness in struggles, to undergo and to bear trials, to have fortitude, to persevere. It is by faith we have to be forebearing, long-spirited and long suffering.
Patience is a reward for properly responding to trials and tribulations and thus there is hope.
Patience allows us in having our perfect work and be complete in various applications of labor, growth, mental and moral character, etc
Time ceases to be a factor when patience is motivated by love.
Genesis 29:20 Jacob's 7 years of waiting seem like "a few days" because of the great love he had for Rachel.
The suffering we are to endure with patience also powerfully benefits the lives of those who watch our faith grow in trials.
