Darkness and light. Cursing and blessing. Life and
death. God gives us the choice. Move into the light with Jesus or stay in
darkness. This week we are searching the Scriptures to see what God tells us
about the battle between darkness and light.
Living in Christ’s
love and forgiveness opens the door to grow in the fruit of the Spirit. The
Holy Spirit grows this fruit from within. And slowly and surely it begins to
show outwardly. Look through this fruit and see which ones need work in your
life. Pray about it and seek Scripture on the particular fruit.
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
After a
week of diverticulosis and side-effects of meds, my patience and faithfulness
need a little work. How about you? Let the Spirit work in your heart and pray
for growth in the fruit. These are the ways of God and the G-rated life!
Jesus,
You will teach us how to grow in the fruit. You are
the vine. (John 15) When we are rooted deeply in You, the fruit will begin to
grow naturally. We put our faith in the true vine. It is You!
Amen
