The Fruit of the Spirit is Longsuffering
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering...

No Christian can handle the losses and disappointments of life without longsuffering.

Longsuffering is the spiritual capacity to handle a tremendous amount of stress and strain. God gave us this fruit of the spirit, to tackle the troubles this life brings.

Longsuffering is learning to endure under the persecution, the criticism, and the emotional, mental, and spiritually injuries of others.

It's a Spirit led power that allows us to bear up under a burden and endure it.

The avalanche of difficulty will fall on you. Longsuffering is the spiritual discipline that allows you to stand in its path and survive!
