Love is patient

Patience, the ability to keep our cool in times of severe tension. It is that ability that makes us able to put up with others.  Just like God does to us (Rom. 2:4). When we are slow to boil, we can forgive. Patience is a fruit of love given by the Spirit of God (Romans 5:5, Gal. 5:22) . Love, like that shown by God,  enables us to absorb the shock of pain at the imperfections, shortcomings and weaknesses of others.
