Sometimes I wonder if my greatest hindrance to building a testimony is patience. I'm not good at seeing the long-term. As Alma progresses in his oratory on comparing the growth of a seed to a tree bearing fruit to our spiritual journey, I realized that patience plays such a grand player in our discipleship. Being able to see the end at the beginning or more importantly all along the way as we grow and learn "line upon line" is paramount to eating of that fruit from our tree.
42 And because of your adiligence and your faith and your patience with the word in nourishing it, that it may take root in you, behold, by and by ye shall pluck the bfruit thereof, which is most precious, which is sweet above all that is sweet, and which is white above all that is white, yea, and pure above all that is pure; and ye shall feast upon this fruit even until ye are filled, that ye hunger not, neither shall ye thirst.
