TODAY’S WORD…

.

The fruit of the Spirit is

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

.

– Galatians 5:22-23 (NET)

REFLECTION…

.

The Holy Spirit pours out over us

generous and never-ending helpings

of all that is good and nutritious for our soul.

.

The fruit of the Spirit

is a divine and freely available antidote to the viruses of

“sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,

idolatry, sorcery,

hostility, quarrelling, jealousy,

outbursts of anger, selfish ambition,

dissension, division, envy,

drunkenness, wild parties,

and other sins like these.” (Gal 5:19-21)

.

However, do I gladly accept and digest the fruit of God’s Spirit,

…or do I simply not want to change my ways?

.

How sad it is if I allow self-centeredness and pride to take over.

.

What could be more wonderful for my soul,

than for it to be filled with

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control!

.

Come Holy Spirit, melt me, mould me, fill me, use me!
