Even so
Patience is intentional.
It is effort.
Not ever effortless.
Faith is a solid, yet sweet statement.
Not meek; Faith is quite courageous.
Intentional
Hope, a word offered up as buoy, as preservation.
A pleasant wish to ease the distressed
Devoid of much at all really to sustain, to hold up.
Until anchored in Sovereign strength of God,
Patience and hope are just poetry without faith in God.
Little pleasantries become confident stories.
Strong words
Not timid “hope so’s'”
Or, ” have faith’s”
Or little “well wishes”
But, well souls.
Confident and unshaken wellness
It is Well. It is Well
with my soul, Strong words.
Strong souls.
The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my victory. Psalm 118:14
Lisa Anne Tindal 
Beautiful. Reminds me of:
“No gift greater than ecstasy, unless it’s patience.”
— Mary Oliver, Long Life: Essays and Other Writings

The stories of patience are so much more important than those of victory. Definitely, a gift!

So much should be said about the Heart – the Soul. This is where His Sprit resides in each of us once we accept His gift. If we could allow our changed hearts to direct our minds, what a wonderful world we would live in.
