Why is patience such an essential part of Christian living? In this episode of So True, Pastor Philip De Courcy reflects on 1 Corinthians 13:4 and the biblical call to demonstrate patient love toward others. Through the story of Charles Simeon, we are reminded that people, like unripe fruit, often need time, grace, and God’s work in their lives before real change takes place.

Pastor Philip explains that patience is not passive resignation but active trust in God. Scripture teaches that love “suffers long,” choosing kindness and restraint even when others test our limits. The patience we show reflects the patience God has shown us through Christ. As we grow in faith and maturity, we are called to extend that same grace to others—trusting that God, in His time, will complete the work He has begun.
