I was over here at One Baha'i's Approach reading about one Baha'i's quest for patience, when something he said struck home in a very deep way:
"When you know what the inevitable outcome must be, you are content to wait for it."
This statement is in reference to a quote from the Kitab-i-Iqan. It stuck me like a ton of bricks: the reason I struggle so much with love and relationships is because I am impatient for what I don't know how to experience. I didn't grow up watching a healthy, loving marriage, so I struggle with being patient for one of my own. That was quite the revelation. I'm not sure how much easier that will make handling the matter, but it is really comforting, and, in a way, empowering, to understand why I have been so troubled by the wait for such an elusive thing as love.
I'm perfect in the sight of God.
As for my own eyes, they don't always like what they see.
Once again, I say- Start Again.
