“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, PATIENCE, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control..” (Galatians 5:22-23 ESV)

For me, next to love, patience is most important. Here are some of my learnings.

PATIENCE…
• Enables me to pay attention.
• Enables me to commit to success – to get there slowly but surely.
• Teaches me the value of gentleness in dealing with time.
• Teaches me to appreciate my and others’ efforts.
• Shows me how relationships can be transformed.
• Shows me how things get clearer with time.
• Helps me understand that not everyone nor everything run on my schedule.
• Helps me to stay calm instead of stressing myself out with a behavior that does me (and everyone around me!) no good.
