Patience takes away worry. He said He would come, and His promise is equal to His presence. Patience takes away your weeping. Why feel so sad and despondent? He knows your need better than you do, and His purpose in waiting is to bring more glory out of it all. Patience takes away self-works. The work He desires is that you believe (john 6:29), and when you believe, may you then know that all is well. Patience takes away all want. Your desire for the thing you wish is stronger than your desire for the will of God to be fullfilled in its arrival.
