^“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23

Every single day I find myself ‘running out’ of patience, whether I’m waiting in line at Saga or getting frustrated with an assignment. As I go through my day and find myself losing patience for the simplest things, it’s almost as if I need a constant reminder from God to pull everything I need from Him. Galatians 5:22-23 tells us of the Fruit of the Spirit—the visible attributes of living a Christian life with the Holy Spirit. Read on down the list and you’ll soon run across patience. What a great prompt this is for us as Christians. When we find ourselves being impatient, we can use those feelings as a reminder to give it up to God and draw from Him for anything that we need. So today when you find yourself getting frustrated, take a minute to close your eyes and draw your strength from the Lord!
