Patience is God's gift
Patience is a quality of God, and the Spirit is given to the believer as a fruit.
Psalm 86:15
"But thou, O LORD, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and full of love and faithfulness." (NIV)
Galatians 5: 23-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, self-control; there is no law against such things."
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a
"Love is patience, like love. It does not envy, it does not boast, it does not boast. It is not indecent, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily annoyed, it does not keep a record of mistakes. It does not rejoice in evil but in truth. It always protects, always believes, always hopes, always strives. Love never fails. "(NIV)
