Wait With Patience
 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, (Galatians 5:22)

Many people want change, but they don't want to go through the waiting
process. But the truth is, waiting is a given, we are going to wait. The question
is, are we going to wait the wrong or right way? If we wait the wrong way,
we'll be miserable; but if we decide to wait God's way, we can become patient
and actually enjoy the wait.

It takes practice, but as we let God help us in each situation, we develop
patience, which is one of the most important Christian virtues. Patience is a
fruit of the Spirit. It's developed only under trial, so we must not run from
difficult situations.

As we develop patience, the Bible says we finally feel completely satisfied,
lacking nothing. Even our relationship with God involves progressive changes.
We learn to trust Him in a deeper way by going through many experiences
that require us to wait longer than we'd like.

Trust me, the waiting may be hard, but it will make you stronger. The benefits
that patience brings are certainly worth any uncomfortable wait!
