Patience is powerful stuff. It is not the nonexistence of voice or action. It has much more to do with timing. Patience considers the difference between right and wrong; bad and worse; good and better. It sometimes has to wait for the right time, or at least a better time, to speak or to act. And when patience either says something or does something—it does so at an appropriate moment with correct principles and, of course, grace. It’s no wonder when Paul describes love—the first word he uses is patience.
