Finishing is better than starting. So is patience better than pride. Difficulties may make us better people. Those difficulties will last for a period only. Some difficult responsibilities may last longer than we expect. But a humble person will be patient, because he trusts God. A proud person is not patient with God. Proud people forget that God made them and has a plan for their lives. There is a mad rush to the finish line for wicked but in the end there is only a beginning, an eternal life with God. Whosoever is patient shows great understanding and wisdom. One of the best examples of humility is patience. It's the type of spiritual fruit that needs no introduction, just by seeing it in somebody you know it produces humility. Imagine the day when the meek will inherit the earth!
