Spiritual Well-Being by Angus Buchan pt 6

Learning to be patient

The Bible says "you know them by their fruit." One of the most important fruits of the spirit ...........is patience. It's amazing how tribulation produces patience (Romans 5:3 - 4)

(Patience is something that needs working on, especially with impulsive people! An impulsive person doesn't always make the best choices.)

The Bible tells us that patience is a virtue. In fact, patience executed correctly will not only save us much time and energy but money as well. There's an old saying that the fruit does not fall far from the tree. In other words, children invariably grow up with the same tendencies as their parents. I choose to believe the more time we spend in the presence of God, the more we'll become like Him.

.......being patient and speaking firmly, but gently, will move mountains.
