Funny thing, patience is. I have found it cannot be had without peace - yet another thing that is curious to understand. I fear I will never be able to truly practice it, much less understand it. Either of them. I have been able to experience them both to a great extent recently, however, and discovered many things. These things I have pondered and still cannot grasp. It has given me a new and deeper meaning to Philippians 4:7, where Paul says that God will give a peace that surpasses all comprehension (with prayer 4:6). Yes, it is too large to understand. But I truly believe, from experience, that it means much more than even that!Monday, January 5, 2009
