واما ثمر الروح فهو محبة فرح سلام طول اناة لطف صلاح ايمان

وداعة تعفف.

Galatians 5:22–23

  Patience (Longsuffering) is love waiting for God to reveal to you, and in you, what He desires to reveal.

We are strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

Colossians 1:11

With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

Ephesians 4:2

Kindness is love reacting to those around you. Kindness and goodness are joined with patience to teach us that a sweet disposition and doing good toward people is the way to stay with them in love.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Colossians 3:12

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and inseparable, deep, and everlasting love. O gracious and merciful God, fill my heart with the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Help me Lord to be patient and to find Your joy in longsuffering situations. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I may bear others in gentleness and love and be able to do good toward them. Lord I praise You, glorify You, and lift You up on high. In the name of the King of kings and Lord of lords, in the Holy Name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour I pray. To Him be the glory, the majesty, the power and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
