The Chinese character for patience (jen)
shows a knife poised over a heart:
the willingness to hold still, in painful settings,
until we know what we are feeling
-Shadows of the Heart
Wherefore seeing we are compassed about by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12:1-2)
