The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Encouraging Words...
I grew up hearing the phrase, "Patience is s virtue!" on a regular basis. This verse reminds me tht this is not a virtue just for me to lear, but a description of one of the virtues of God. He is waiting to take me, His child, home so that I can continue to grow in His image, so that I can be used to spread His love into the world around me. If I am to live my life in a way to become more like Him (theosis) then one area that I will need to be growing in is patience.
