Passionate Patience

Loved this Romans 5:3-5 passage from The Message.

We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t round up enough containers to hold everything God generously pours into our lives through the Holy Spirit!

Isn't "passionate patience" a great concept? I also loved the idea that God's generosity can be about the non-material.
