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?

Longsuffering Like God
Longsuffering is not a word we hear anymore, but it is

with you? Have you had longsuffering with others?
I am passionate about learning and my faith, so I combine the two. My greatest goal is to daily grow to be more like Christ, and to help others do the same.
