God raised Jesus from the dead to provide His people with an everlasting relationship with them. God also desires for His people to have a similar relationship with each other. That is our high calling. Fortunately, through the presence of the Holy Spirit, God gives us tools to help live out that calling in relationship with one another. Some relationships are super healthy. Some are not. Some of the stressful relationships are due to our own faults. Some are not. The gift of patience gives us the ability to refrain from making bad situations worse.
