Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Let’s face it, we have difficulties. Our relief for those difficulties may not happen immediately. While we wait on our relief, we need longsuffering.
Another word for longsuffering is patience. A definition of patience is doing what’s right even if what’s right doesn’t seem like it’s working. If we separate the word longsuffering, it simply means to suffer long.
With the Spirit of God operating in our lives, we have the ability to remain patient during difficult times because of the other fruits operating in our lives. When we activate love, joy, and peace in the middle of our situation, we have the ability to stay in that position for however long it takes.
For those in the middle of a difficult situation, activate the other fruits of the Spirit within you so that you can correctly get through this time, allowing yourself to totally place your faith in God.
