Everything in the age you live in is on high speed. People want things to be done instantly. The attention span of people has been reduced because people have lost the art of waiting.
Walking with Me is not an instant walk. Walking with Me daily takes longsuffering and forbearance, and these fruits cannot be developed instantly. The fruit of longsuffering is developed when you are willing to receive trials with a heart that stays close to Me during the waiting period before the trial has ended. Forbearnace develops in you when you are willing to accept people even with all of their pecularities.
My disciples sometimes became annoyed with Me because I was willing to take time with people who they considered to be unclean. They also could not understand why I was not disturbed when we were in stormy seas. This is why you have to partake of My nature in order to develop longsuffering and forbearance. Depend upon Me to help you cultivate these fruits of the Spirit in your life. You partake of My nature when you believe and receive My promises.
