Patience comes from a latin word patior which means to suffer. And so the person is willing to suffer. But, let's go back to joy. That doesn't mean that, with the suffering that we endure in patience, there is a lack of joy, or even a lack of peace. We can be in tremendous pain and still be peaceful in our faculties and cheer because they would still order towards God, despite the fact that I might be, in for example, suffering from physical pain. But the patience is the ability to endure evil. It's basically what it is. (...) With patience, the focus is still God, here. So that, in addition to the person is willing to suffer what God wants them to suffer, the kind of suffering the God wants them to suffer (because a lot of times we don't want to do that), but it's for how long. 'Cause a lot of times people are, like, 'oh, I'm willing to suffer' and they get about, you know, half of day into it, and then they are just wailing and gnashing of teeth again. And they just can't sustain it. (...) If the person's focus is entirely on God, it doesn't really matter what's going on in their particular life right now, when they turn on the TV, they don't care what they're seeing, really, ultimately. They do want the good for a country and the good to actually be achieved because they don't want God to be offended, but it doesn't impact them. They can still endure this thing for a long period. The patience has a kind of endurance that's necessary. As a person becomes focused entirely on God, the evil that is present that they're enduring is not the primary focus, so they can endure it for as long as it's necessary.
