Biblical Meaning of Patience 

In the Bible, patience is often associated with endurance, perseverance, and long-suffering. It is considered a virtue and a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Patience involves trusting in God’s timing and maintaining faith even in difficult circumstances. It is about waiting on the Lord with a hopeful and expectant heart, knowing that His plans are perfect and His timing is impeccable. 

Patience is also crucial in our interactions with others. It requires humility, gentleness, and a willingness to bear with one another in love. By cultivating patience, we reflect Christ’s character and demonstrate His love to those around us.
