It can be very difficult to be patient, but the Holy Spirit is there to help! With all of our modern technology, things move pretty fast. It can be VERY difficult to be patient, you may even feel (or may have been told) that it’s impossible for you to be patient. But if patience is a fruit of the Spirit, then you will have patience in your life if you are living by the Spirit. If you believe in Jesus, you’ve given your life to God, and the Holy Spirit is living inside of you, and you are living the way that He’s leading you, then He will make you patient. It might seem impossible, but nothing is impossible with God! If you are walking in the Spirit, you will get the fruit of the Spirit, and the fruit of the Spirit is patience!
