Roots to Fruit (Week 3) :: YouVersion Event

Patience:

 Being slow to anger or despair.

 The practice of patience encompasses not only my actions but especially my

words and attitudes.

 It forbids being critical, judging others before its time, grumbling, gossiping,

whining, and complaining.

Kindness:

 It is directly associated with patience or long-suffering.

 Patience is basically restraint, while kindness is restraint and more.

 Kindness is not simply the absence of retaliation, but being proactive with

positive action.

 Thus, kindness is motivated by love and is an expression of goodness.

Goodness:

 Goodness is a heartfelt, moral quality of desiring and being of benefit to

others according to God's will.

 It is a moral quality because goodness can have no part in any kind of evil.

 Kindness is a category and demonstration of goodness.
