Godís Patience

This verse is about the End Times and Jesus coming back. Why, according to this verse, is God waiting to come back and end suffering?

Because He doesn't want to lose anyone, He wants everyone to come with Him to Salvation!!

What are your thoughts on this aspect of God's character?

It shows that He sees things in a very different perspective. Time doesn't matter, only souls. He counts each and everyone, not one means less than the other. All ecual important. It doesn't always feel like that, and sometimes it is very hard to believe that He notices me. Or that I am important. But if I was the only one left to persish, God would wait for me!!
