I am still growing and learning about patience. While I have been looking closely at the fruit of the Spirit, I realize that all of the fruit are intertwined. To love includes being kind as well as many of the other fruit. To be kind I need to have an attitude of joy or it won’t work. My patience comes out of my kindness and love because, as I commented earlier this week, to be patient with people, I have to have an attitude of love and kindness. God produces the character traits love, joy, peace, patience within me through His Holy Spirit. I cannot develop these on my own. These are a gift from God. To clothe myself I need to keep close to Him. Stay close in prayer and in His Word. I have to keep the desire in my heart to follow the examples He has given me for living my life. Most important, I need to remember that God is the one with the power, the plan, the love and the patience to walk me through it!
