Put the Fruits of the Spirit on Display

Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Results MN#20344949 WI#93113-94

 

 "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" (Galatians 5:22-23)

How can I put the FRUITS on DISPLAY throughout the day? 

Look at these:

1. Love

2. Joy

3. Peace

4. Patience

5. Kindness

6. Goodness

7. Faithfulness

8. Gentleness

9. Self-Control

Is there any reason not to want to exercise these all the time of possible?  Impossible to do you may say? 

Take time to work on just one of these today.  Perhaps go the extra mile to be kind and form that habit over the course of the rest of the month.  Or pick on you struggle with, maybe its patience, practice patience with the situations at hand.

Be aware that the things that happen in our life are meant to guide us into fullness of the spirit of TRUTH and resisting the guidance can bring HARD situations our way until we get the lesson.

Don't beat yourself up if you struggle with any of these instead rejoice in the fact that you have an opportunity to improve and go higher.  The TRUTH came to allow us to experience FULLNESS of life.  You are not as far off as you think you are. 

Bless where you are at right now and go forward to greater GOOD! Do judge yourself or others.  We are all loved children of God, and no one is too far gone, are better than anyone.  God loves you and takes you in right where you are at!
