Let’s be honest. We love the grandiose, the spectacular, the EPIC. And, oh

yes, by the way… we want it now. But could it be that the best things in

life - the most valuable, most profound, most significant things - only

come about from a long commitment in the same direction? We see it in

fitness, in parenting, in agriculture, in relationships - strong, mature

things take time. Patience. Perseverance. The same holds true in our

journey of faith with Jesus.
