The one who has endured to the end will be saved.—Matt. 24:13.

 

Consider the benefits of being patient. When we are patient, we are happier and calmer. Thus, patience can improve our mental and physical health. When we are patient with others, we enjoy better relationships with them. Our congregation becomes more united. If someone provokes us, our being slow to anger can prevent the situation from getting worse. (Ps. 37:8, ftn.; Prov. 14:29) But most of all, we imitate our heavenly Father and draw even closer to him. What an appealing and beneficial quality patience is! While we may not always find it easy to be patient, with Jehovah’s help, we can continue to cultivate this quality. And as we patiently wait for the new world, we can be confident that “the eye of Jehovah watches over those fearing him, those waiting for his loyal love.” (Ps. 33:18) May we all be determined to continue clothing ourselves with patience. w23.08 22 ¶7; 25 ¶16-17

Patience isn’t passive—it’s strength under quiet control. Like a farmer waiting for rain, we keep working, trusting Jehovah’s timing even when the sky looks empty. Impatience drains faith; patience builds it. Each time we wait calmly instead of reacting, we protect our peace, strengthen our congregation, and mirror the steady heart of our Father who never rushes, yet never fails.
