Patience
Drawing forth the spirit within, I develop patience.
Patience
is not only a virtue but a practice. In a fast-paced culture that
sometimes values time more than relationships, I may rush through a
conversation to get to what I feel is more important, even becoming
sarcastic or curt.
I realize the virtue of patience. Practicing this skill instills in me the willingness to be kind toward others even when I may not think I have the time. This includes patience with myself. I give myself permission to make mistakes and atone for any errors, asking forgiveness when appropriate.
The apostle Paul wrote, “Love is patient, love is kind …” I express the love of God through my patience.

With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.—Ephesians 4:2
