Walking in Patience: The Fruit of the Spirit 7-Day Bible-Reading Plan by Kenneth Copeland Ministriesనమూనా

Patience Is Jesus on Display

One of the most important things about showing patience is that it is one of the most powerful ways to show Jesus to those who don’t know Him.

While others might let the cashier know they’ve had it with the long wait, the patience of Jesus shows love and kindness to that person and outshines the rest. When impatient, inconsiderate people tailgate and honk at slower drivers, your calm and considerate demeanor is a glowing example of Jesus. It makes people stop and wonder why you’re so different.

Patience puts Jesus on display!

What stands out even more is when we are patient with our own difficult circumstances. When we’re standing and believing God for promotion, but we don’t get upset when another is promoted first, we’re displaying supernatural patience and faith that is very attractive to the world. When we are believing for healing and seem to sparkle and smile through symptoms that would defeat others, we send a strong message of who Jesus really is.

How do we get there?

As we consistently fellowship with Him by spending time in prayer and in the Word, we’ll bear the fruit of His patience almost unconsciously. Others will start to see it in us, most likely even before we do, and be touched by its sweetness. And they’ll be more receptive to the gospel (see today’s reading).

This week, endeavor to let Jesus be on display in your life, as you show patience in situations where most others would not. Your life is your testimony!
