“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 NLT

A Time to Think…
“How can we identify the areas of our lives that don’t produce Holy Spirit-inspired fruit? By examining our responses to the people and events in our lives.” -Christine Caine, evangelist/author/founder of A21 organization combatting human trafficking around the globe

A Time to Act…
When you hear that a coworker has received another promotion, do you celebrate it or talk about why someone else would be better for the job? Or when you see a grim report on the news, do you get angry and freak out or do you respond with peace in your heart, knowing that God will always take care of you? The fruits of the Spirit should be your goal in all situations so you can share the love of God and enjoy your authentic relationship with Jesus.

A Time to Pray…
O Jesus, I admit that my fruits of the Spirit are often shelved instead of used. Help me to embrace the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control that you have given me. I want to be your loving child that can share you with others so they, too, can find the goodness in the gifts of the Holy Spirit. With your help, I can do this, AMEN.
