Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law
Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
If you take a moment to seriously ask yourself. . .”am
I that person”? Do I reflect the Fruit
of the Spirit or do lose all credibility when I complain? When we constantly complain we spread an atmosphere
of unrest and negativity. What type of reputation are we building in our
everyday relationships? Are we growing in the spirit and reflecting the fruit
of it in our own lives? If not, then it is almost impossible to share Christ with
someone when our actions are totally opposite of the Master’s love and promise
of perfect peace in the midst of a storm.
How can we comfort others during their problems when we are the embodiment
of complaining and unrest? It’s kind of
hard to tell someone that their marriage will be ok when we ourselves complain
about own spouses.
Be encouraged. The Word of GOD is good for self-reflection
and reproof in all things. It is guide to better us and to lead us to a better
way of living on this side of heaven. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control are choices that we can choose every day in every
situation. By doing this we show our trust in GOD. By living and producing the
Fruits of the Spirit we give credit to our Savior and become an example of
Christ to the world. Remember Grow up, not down.
I love you
always and in all ways.
Rev M.
