GLORIOUS FRUIT
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Encouraging Words
What a glorious promise this is from our God. We were promised by Jesus to have the Holy Spirit sent to us and to dwell within us. Here we are told by Paul that the fruit that the Holy Spirit will bring into our lives is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This fruit is not just ours to keep for ourselves to enjoy, but fruit to share with those around us by treating them with love, bringing joy into their lives, being at peace with all, showing patience and longsuffering to everyone, being kind to all, bringing good into other's lives, being faithful and dependable, being gentle with others, and being self-controlled in all situations. This is the glorious fruit that we have both been given and called to give to others. Glory be to God!
