The fruit of the Spirit is patience. This Sunday, we will focus on the fruit of the spirit known as patience. Patience might be the fruit we all say is the most difficulty. However, as we think about God's patience toward us, and focus our hearts on humility, gentleness, and love, we will find the Spirit cultivating patience in our lives. As we continue our study in the fruit of the Spirit, let us abide in Christ, let us do our part, and let us trust God’s Spirit to increase our patience and satisfaction in Christ.
