The Inheritance of Patience

James reminds us that trials produce patience—and patience leads to being “perfect and entire,” meaning whole and fully equipped to receive our inheritance from God (James 1:4). Without patience, we miss out on much of what God has for us. Impatience reveals immaturity and often makes us harsh, demanding perfection from others instead of trusting in God's timing and work. In earlier times, patience was so valued it was even given as a name—a crown for beauty. Today, it's a forgotten virtue, but still essential. God honors patience with blessing. So try it—you may find it brings more than just peace. It brings inheritance.
