"Faith without patience produces people who start off good, but burnout over time. Patience without faith produces people that constantly suffer, but have no power to change their situation."
There are things in life what we cannot acquire in an instant. Oftentimes, one needs a lot of patience to persevere until the perfect time is achieved. This is true with faith. Faith teaches us to be patient to what God has destined for all of us. But it doesn't mean that when our prayers are not answered according to our human sense of time that God is not listening to us. It's just that God has prepared the right and exact event and experience much better to what we are expecting, the right recipe to make the best food in us.
For sure, the heart of God is not far from us. He only asks us to be more patient with his heart. And when we are patient, we will discover that the appointed time of our liberation from sin, sorrow and pain is very close at hand.
