When we patiently endure our problems and turn to God for help, we notice that He gives us the best possible solution.
Unfortunately, in our days, people are very impatient.
We do not love patience at all.
Christ assured us, however, that only the ones who are patient will inherit the Kingdom of God.
“…they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bring forth fruit with patience.” Lk 8:15
“but he who endures to the end will be saved” Mt 24:13
“by your endurance you will gain your lives” Lk 21:19.
“Sometimes God allows for a relative or a fellow worker to cause us problems in order to exercise our patience and humbleness; however, instead of being grateful for the chance God gives us, we react and refuse to be cured.
It is like refusing to pay the doctor who is giving us a shot when we are ill.”
Elder Paisius of the Holy Mountain
