Have or Have Not?

A comment by my sister recently sparked this post. People, when asked what God has been teaching them lately, often mention patience. Yet patience is a fruit of the Spirit. If one yields to the Spirit they have it, if not then the fruit is not apparent. Therefore my sister insightfully mused as to whether one can be taught a fruit of the Spirit. It seems to her at this point in time that waiting and patience may be different although similar.

I have not studied this yet and will thus refrain from making a comment.

What are your thoughts?
