The Fruit of Patience


Listen Later

Listen to Today's Devotion

Impatience is selfishness with time. We don’t like to waste it. People get in our way and slow things down, so we burn them with impatience!

Patience recognizes that we share time with others; it’s not just our time. Patience knows other factors are at work—that some things can be sped up with encouragement, not flames of retribution. The best way to turn down the flame of impatience is with love.

“Love is patient.” Love is a fruit hanging from the tree of Galatians 5:22. It’s the first-fruit, and some say the most important. The seeds of love produce the harvest of all the other fruits: joy, peace, patience… So if you have the Holy Spirit, then you have the potential of making patience a part of your life. Thankfully, God is patient while you find that patience.
