Three important points about Patience
1. We need patience to perform and fully
accomplish God's will and to receive
what was promised (our inheritance)
2. God has given us this tool to
specifically address those
difficult and challenging times
in our lives.
3. Patience also plays an important
part in flowing freely in our
spiritual gifts.
