Devotional
Again, beloved, if you must seek to become a better version of you in life, another irrefutable trait you must possess is patient. Yes, be patient. You see, things don’t always happen the way we would like them to, and that’s great! But rather than getting upset when things don’t go your way, take a deep breath, wait and learn to be patient. Patient is one of the cardinal virtues of life, and a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Any wonder, the apostle Paul encouraged us in Romans 12:12, and he said,
Key Scripture

Refreshing for the Day
The truth is, life could be slower. So, we need to be aware of that, and try relishing those slow moments.

Hopefully, this time around, it will surely come through. Stay Refreshed!
