The Fruits of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Humility and Self-Control. The bible states that there is no law against such things as these. (Galatians 5: 22-23)
I can remember the day of my salvation. I found myself drawn to Fruits of God's Holy Spirit. In an earnest love to please God, I stood on His Word, and asked for further wisdom to understand the Fruits of His Spirit. God's fruits are full of wisdom and there is a great reward to those who cherish them in their hearts. Love, what a wonderful word, to be able to love with an unconditional love. Joy, is my heart filled with happiness of the glad news of good tidings. Peace, am I a peacemaker, do I strive to settle indifferences in a Godly manner. Patience, do I wait upon the Lord, or am I one step ahead of Him. Kindness, those fitly bespoken words that can encourage another's day, are they mine. Goodness, am I truly good, do I see the good of all His works in the plan for my life. Faithfulness, do I stand strong in my faith, unmovable, or do I waver during trials and tribulations that surround my life. Humility, humble are the ways of a righteous man. I shall submit to the Lord. Self-Control, Am I haughty, do I lose control of my temper.
Clearly, surely God has a plan for our lives. It is in His Fruits that we are tempered like gold.
In my life I wish to please God, and to learn to be approved in His Fruits.

A Word of Encouragement: I personally wish to please God. I am going to try to reflect in my life, and refresh myself in the Lord. Each day, I will focus on Your, fruits, Lord. Strive to be pleasing in Your sight. Sweet are the Fruits of Thy Holy Spirit.

Prayer of the Day: "Dear Lord, send forth Thy Holy Spirit. Enlighten my mind and strengthen me Lord. I wish to be filled with the goodness of the Fruits of Thy Holy Spirit. Teach us Lord, to be an approved people, holy in Thy sight. Help us to strive to be perfected in Your ways. Sanctify us, Oh Lord, and send forth Thy Holy Spirit to encourage us to utilize the Fruits of Thy sweet Spirit. Amen (So be it)"

Bible Verse of the Day: "But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and sel-control. There is no law against such things as these. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have put to death their human nature with all its passions and desires. The Spirit has given us life; he must also control our lives." (Galatians 5: 22-25)
