How does God respond to Gideon’s request for a sign?

Judges 6:38 (ESV)

38 And it was so. When he rose early next morning and squeezed the fleece, he wrung enough dew from the fleece to fill a bowl with water.

God does not say, Gideon, I am tired of your doubts. Go away? No. God is patient and gracious. Gideon gets up the next morning, and the sign was fulfilled.
