OK, so here's some more on yesterday's topic. I opened up my Bible today to Galatians. This is significant because I have no organized order for my daily reading. I like to open it up and trust God to take me where I need to go...because I haven't a clue. He knew Galatians was the right place. For those of you, who are like me, and can't remember off the top of your head what Galatians is about...I'll give you my super quick overview: Paul wrote to churches in Southern Galatia (and for Christians everywhere) a call to faith and freedom in Jesus i.e. no more legalism. GOOD STUFF!
Here's what grabbed me.. Galatians 5:22-23,
"But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control..."
Key here: Spirit controls our lives...
I need all of that fruit. You may remember from this that I do not particularly enjoy eating fruit. BUT, that Holy Spirit fruit...it's kinda like this to me....
Happy Saturday!

I am doing a Beth Moore study on the Fruits of the Spirit. Maybe next week I will take in the Jelly Bellies for fun.
ReplyDeleteJust to intro myself. I am Shalom Seekers friend from Jr. High. I see your comments on her blog. I just opened up a blog myself. I was posting anonymously. I hope you don't mind I came and took a look around your blog. You are a very cleaver writer. I enjoyed reading about your ceiling fan also.
