Patience – Henri Nouwen

If we are patient, we can look at all the events of each day – expected and unexpected – as holding promise for us. Patience is the attitude that says we cannot force life but have to let it grow in its own time. Patience lets us see the people we meet, the events of the day, and the unfolding of history of our times as all part of the slow process of development and final liberation. — Discernment: Reading the Signs of Daily Life

Reflection Question: When have you experienced the most power times of returning to God?

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

– Galatians 5: 22
