Patience

Romans 15:5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had.

Here again, Jesus is our example, but more than that, He is our very mind. If we are called to live a life that bears fruit, we must have someone to help us do so. Because Jesus came and lived among us as one of us, He is able to understand the struggle and the frustration. He lived with a mind of love and compassion, encouraging those who were downtrodden and lifting up those who were defeated. He endured much more on earth than any of us ever will. Therefore, if we have the same attitude of mind, a renewed mind, then patience will surely be visible fruit through our Lord.
