Longsuffering Like God

Longsuffering is not a word we hear anymore, but it is pretty self explanatory. In the King James, it is used in place of patience when listing the fruit of the Spirit, but it is more than mere patience. It is often translated as “slow to anger” or “great patience” in other translations. It carries with it a note of extended time, and it is plain to see times in the Bible when God had longsuffering with people, but when has He had longsuffering with you? Have you had longsuffering with others?
