"Patience is not so much about waiting, as it is about how one behaves while waiting."

Even though the whole world looks at me with contempt, I shall neither grumble nor grieve.  In every condition and on every occasion, Thou art prepared to greet me.

        What if people, believing me to be sinful and mean, wretched and distressed, don’t throng before me or even forsake me, I shall never lament that.  I shall be ever sacred in the eyes of Thine and privileged to take rest on Thy peaceful breast at anytime, I am assured.

        Even though nobody is prepared to protect me from the fierce fire and nobody feels pain by beholding the incessant tears of mine, I shall never care.  Thy affectionate, lovely lap will always be open for me; and it is also utterly true that wiping out my tears Thou shall reveal the love of Thine.

        Consequently I live for the sake of Thine.  Thy nectarine divine eyes are the very source of my life and Thy every open lap is my wealth in scarcity and strife.
