Patience is a process
of perfection. The Savior Himself said
that in your patience, you possess your souls. Or to use another translation
of the Greek text, in your patience, you win
mastery of your souls. Patience means to
abide in faith, knowing that sometimes
it is in the waiting, rather than in the receiving,
that we grow the most. This was true in the
time of the Savior. It is true in our
time as well, for we are commanded in
these latter days to "continue in patience
until ye are perfected."
