Hi! Today I would like to bless you with the scripture from Galatians 5:22-23 which says “But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].”
I know for myself I feel so many times I am not self-controlled, patient, loving and kind which is why I need strength from God’s Holy Spirit for these fruits to be revealed in me. I know these fruits are in me because I know I have the Holy Spirit on the inside of me but there is also opposite fruit living in me too which is why I need God and why you need God. I want to pray for you today and for myself as well that there would be an abundance of the fruit of the Spirit coming out of us. Let’s pray:
Father, I bless my brothers and sisters in the Lord who are on this journey of blessing with me. I bless them to receive the truth of the Holy Spirit’s work on the inside of them. I bless them to receive the truth that we have the fruit of the Spirit in us already and we ask for your grace in our lives to have this fruit come out of us. May your fruit of your Spirit come out of us when we are faced with the trials of everyday living and we would rather be impatient rather than patient, we would rather be unkind when treated unkindly rather than be kind in response, we would rather be hateful when we are shown hate rather than love with the love you give on the inside of us. Help us all to come to the end of ourselves so we can look up, reach up and know within our own strength we cannot do this but only in your strength. May the strength of your Spirit sustain us and may we forgive ourselves for not being perfect. Help us to know it is your work in us and I bless your working in us today. Bless my brothers and sisters who desire to walk with you today. Bless them to have an outpouring of your Spirit on their lives…Amen
