Benefits of Affliction—Patience
Scripture
KJV
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
ESV
For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
James 1:3-4
Poem
Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way:
Wait thou his time—the darkest night
Shall end in brightest day.
