Take Off, Put On: Patience
Patience is definitely a virtue.
Growing in Christ often comes down to things we take off and put on, like when we say to a child, “Hold on. Be patient,” what we’re saying is “Put on some patience.” The Bible talks about patience as delaying something you want on behalf of someone else’s need. Like the way God is patient with us, slow to judge, and long-suffering. You put on patience when you let a child finish a task using their style, not yours. It’s showing mercy and restraint to keep on loving someone who is hard to love.
