But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such
things there is no law. Galatians 5a:22-23

God wants us to joyfully give thanks for all that he has done for us. By
his mighty hand he equips us with everything we need. God wants us to
receive Jesus Christ as our savior and forgive us of our sins so we can
spend eternity with him. But while here on earth, God wants us to live a
life pleasing to him. God knows that life will be filled with happy and
sad times. Always remember that you are never alone and God will
strengthen you with all his power! WOW!
There are so many situations that we have to exercise patience and en-
durance. Perhaps you have a situation in your life that you are dealing
with regarding your friends or family. Even when we feel we have been
wronged, God still asks us to live a life worthy of the Lord so we can
please him in everyway!

Patience — Hupomone

Hypo means under

Meno means to abide

Patience means to abide under

How do we do this when we are confronted with obstacles everyday?

The answer is Jesus and he is the only way we can fully live a life worthy
of our Lord. By abiding under Jesus, God will give us all the patience
and endurance we need. He wants us to be a light to others. So the next
time you are confronted with a situation, before you are quick to react,
prayerfully asked God to fill you with all his power to handle the situa-
tion in a way that will bring glory to Him!
