Patience
 

Patience
I am patient, positive, and filled with faith.

The biblical story of Joseph is a wonderful reminder of the value of patience. Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and lived an arduous existence completely foreign to him. But Joseph had patience and trusted God to bless him. Ultimately, he was rewarded with power and glory.

When I face situations that try my patience—tight deadlines, full schedules, or unexpected delays—I think of Joseph, his willingness to be patient, and the reward he received. Patience allows me to put my best foot forward and, regardless of the situation, to have faith that all is well. With patience, I am able to relax and wait for the reward of divine blessings.
Who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.—Romans 8:24-25
