Love is self-control, waiting, permitting another's freedom to choose and to act in their own time and way, holding back your initial reaction, choosing when and when not to express yourself or emotion, doing your part and letting the other person do theirs without pushing them.
Love is self-control.
And self-control is actually a kind of faith – faith that God is more than able to satisfy you and take care of you, faith that God is working in the other person just as He is working in you, faith that the other person is doing their best to grow too.
I have so much growing to do.
