Christian brothers, be willing to wait for the Lord to come again. Learn from the farmer. He waits for the good fruit of the earth until the early and late rains come. You must be willing to wait also. Be strong in your hearts because the Lord is coming again soon. (James 5:7-8)
You must be willing to wait without giving up. After you have done what God wants you to do, God will give you what He promised you. (Hebrews 10:36)
Do not let yourselves get tired of doing good. If we do not give up, we will get what is coming to us at right time. (Galatians 6:9)
"When we come to the sign of the Lord in the sacrament of baptism we are freed of these chains and liberated by the blood of Christ and by His name. Therefore, beloved, we are washed clean but once; we are freed only once; we are received into the immortal kingdom once and for all. Once and for all are they happy whose sins are forgiven and whose stains are blotted out. Hold fast to what you have received; preserve it joyfully; sin no more. Keep yourselves as children cleansed by that sacrament and made spotless for the day of the Lord." - Saint Pacian
