Being patient does not mean one is weak.
It doesn’t mean one becomes happy by being abused.
It doesn’t mean one forgoes justice.
But it means that one is strong enough
with the love of Christ
and desires mercy for those who sin
and are still lost.
It means having a firm hope
that justice will triumph in due time,
and no evil could escape the Hand of God.
It means being able to look at all things
within the light of Jesus’ resurrection,
and with that light,
we find a joy that never falters
no matter the sorrows
along the way.
