Charles H. Spurgeon: “Faith is the silver thread upon which the pearls of the graces are to be hung. Break that, and you have broken the string — the pearls lie scattered on the ground.”
It is in our daily life and conduct that the fruit of the Spirit is love. From that comes all the graces and virtues in which love is manifested - joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness - no sharpness or hardness in your tone, no unkindness or selfishness, [but] meekness before God and man.
Are you impatient? Are you even impatient with God? After all, we believe our own prayers should be answered instantly. When they are not, we begin to grumble with impatience.
