Patience is not passive;

on the contrary, it is active;

it is concentrated strength.

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

I saw this quote and it hit home, maybe because it is something I am really striving to implement in my life. I pray for it daily but I never did anything to actively change the way I would respond in certain situations. Until I recently had a quiet conversation with the Lord and he changed my heart. This quote was perfect.
