The Fortitude to Be Still: Patience and the Fruit of the Spirit
About this episode
Rev. Linda Adkins discusses the fruit of the Spirit, focusing on patience and its development through the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.
In this episode of Words of Light for Today, Rev. Linda Adkins focuses on the fruit of the Spirit and how they operate in the life of a believer. She explores the relationship between the Gifts of the Spirit and the Fruit of the Spirit, with special attention to patience, kindness, and goodness. Patience is described not as a natural personality trait, but as something the Holy Spirit develops within us—the fortitude to be still. Many people struggle to wait, to be quiet, or to remain steady when circumstances press in. Yet learning to be still allows us to hear God clearly. When we cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit in our lives, we begin to recognize His voice and walk with greater spiritual clarity. This episode challenges believers to allow the Holy Spirit to form true patience within them so they can remain steady, listen for God, and respond to His direction.
