Perfect patience is precisely what I need and have needed all my life. When I hit bottom and salvation hit me, nothing but the “perfect patience” of Christ could have kept me on the right path. He is in my heart, growing there every day. I am grateful beyond measure.

 1 Timothy 1:16-17 -  

But I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
