The Virtue of Patience What is the benefit of patience during a trial if there is no difference in the results? There is more benefit than something to be gained, or what is done whenever anticipated by the patience. It is a pious personality, which comes through patience. __________________________________________ Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him (James 1:12).
