I compiled this devotional when I first realized I had a problem with my
email. It still contains sentiments we all need to remember. I tried to
send this in late February. It was a long struggle to gain my E-Mail back
and for a while I was in despair about ever having AOL E-Mail again. In
retrospect, I forgot many of the sentiments expressed in these following
quotes. It is nice to be back!
"… have patience with me …" Matthew 18:26
"A delay is better than a disaster." Anon.
"A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel full of brains." Anon
"Patience is the fruit and proof of faith." John Calvin
"The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect
opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord." Joni Eareckson Tada
"Patience makes a Christian invincible" Thomas Watson
"To lengthen my patience is the best way to shorten my troubles" George Swinnock
"Mercy hath a heaven, and justice a hell, to display itself to eternity,
but long-suffering hath only a short-lived earth." Henry Smith, England's
Silver-Tongued Preacher
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness,
but is patient toward you, not wishing any to perish but for all to come
to repentance.
