"Oh, what’s the use?” I ask God while I'm praying Since you know the way That things must be Then in quiet I listen For an answer from The one who gave Himself for me
For once He prayed till sweat Flowed like blood drops Through the night, with sorrows He was tossed Then He surrendered all that He had wished for Our lives to save And for our sin’s full cost
And then as dawn Had still not fully wakened On the third day Before the sun was bright The tomb was opened So we could see inside that He is alive And calls us to His side!

But as I rav'd and grew more fierce and wilde - At every word, Me thoughts I heard one calling, Child! - And I reply'd, My Lord. George Herbert - excerpt from The Collar

I’m not a patient waiter but with God’s help, I’m better than I used to be.
So true for us all. Paul’s definition of love begins not with romance or daring but with patience.
