Stripping My Gears

Patience is a virtue.

Virtue is to be deemed morally excellent. Moral values. The foundation of principles. It all sounds very nice.

How about when you don’t feel morally excellent? 

A realistic quote, “Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.”

I feel like stripping my gears. 

I am idling and waiting for a breakthrough to happen. I want to step on the clutch, shift hard into 1^st gear, drive hard and drive fast.

Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength.

I’m sitting still, concentrating and trying very hard to do all the right things. My resolve is slipping.

Concentrated strength is to intensify. Make stronger, make purer.

Holy Spirit … 911!
