Most of us can admit that patience isn't our strongest suit, and I'm no exception. I have an uncle, though, who embodies patience. He remains calm under pressure and doesn't let his emotions get the best of him—even with strong opinions. Observing him, I'm reminded that this calmness and patience align closely with how God wants us to act. Ephesians 4:2 calls us to live "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love." It’s a powerful reminder that patience isn’t just a virtue; it’s a reflection of the Holy Spirit at work within us.
