Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples

The Fruit of the Spirit – Patience

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

We have all had our patience tested at times in our lives. Little irritations and daily interruptions often leave us feeling stressed and impatient. The sad fact is often, we tend to be more impatient with those that we love the most.

The Apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:2 that we should bear with one another in love – with all humility, gentleness, and patience. Just as God is patient with us, we should be patient with others.
