Jesus Christ is the ultimate model of patience. His life on earth, filled with trials, betrayals and suffering, exemplified how patience can be lived out with grace and love. In 1 Peter 2:23, we read about Jesus: “When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.” His patience in suffering and his trust in God's justice provide us with a powerful example of enduring with grace.
In our own lives, cultivating patience involves recognizing areas where we struggle and intentionally inviting God's help. Whether it’s dealing with personal frustrations, managing difficult relationships or waiting for long-desired outcomes, patience is a practice of aligning our heart with God’s rhythm and trusting his perfect timing.
