Galatians 5:22-23 (03-10-09)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

— Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When the Spirit is alive in our hearts, the character of God comes to life in us as the Spirit works to conform us ever more closely to the image and the character of Christ (2 Cor. 3:18).My Prayer...

Thank you, dear Father, for your Spirit within me. I consciously yield my will and heart to your Spirit's transforming control in my life. Please produce in me the fruit that pleases you and brings you glory. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

 

[K-J]

Father, I find it no accident that this scripture verse is exactly what our sermons have been on for the last 5 weeks at church. Thank You for placing these words at the center of my week. I pray that the Holy Spirit might work within me, allowing the fruits of the Spirit to be revealed in all that I do and say. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control - thank You Father, for these amazing gifts. In Jesus' name, amen.
