THE FRUIT

love as the fruit of the spirit is manifested in

Good morning to you!

 I pray God's blessings and love upon you. May He fill you with the fruit of the Spirit:
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

Are you filled with these fruit? These are attributes that God wants us to have. He doesn't want us to have just one or two. He wants us to be filled with all of them. 

                      16 So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will 
                      not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.  
                     17 For the sinful nature desires what is 
                      contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what 
                       is contrary to the sinful nature. They are 
                      in conflict with each other, so that you do 
                    not do what you want. 24 Those who belong 
                  to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature 
                  with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live 
                 by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 
                                   Galatians 5:16-17, 24-25

So, we need to live by the Spirit and keep in step with the Spirit. And to do that we need the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. I will do my best to let God fill me with these things and pray for the fruit to be evident in my life. How about you?

Have a fruitful day!

Choosing Jesus Every Day: Don't Be Lazy

...to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:2b-3 Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Greetings And to us all! I have not written here in 5 months. Forgive me! Life is so busy these days. My husband, Bert, and I thought retirement would be less busy and more, well retired. But that is okay! I believe we are following the path that God wants us on at this time of our lives and that He knows best. So, praise be to our God and Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, for His great guidance! My devotion this morning was very interesting. Bert and I have had this conversation many times when he was still working full time and pastoring. We discussed the fact that our house needs attention. A house will fall if it is not taken care of. And, of course, he was work...

VICTORY

Saturday Good morning to you! The beach is waiting. I can't wait to get away. To rest. To regenerate. To be revived. And sometimes we just need to get away from our daily routine in order to do that. Get away from the phone and stuff like that. Unfortunately, with cell phones, these days we don't get away from the calls. It never fails that we go on vacation and always someone calls about my husband's work, either a person that works for him or someone wanting to get work done. But in all reality that is good. It means that the business is not dead. Praise the Lord for that! The beach does so much for me. I have the best time and the most relaxing time at the beach. I guess it is in my blood. I was born at the beach (a town at the beach). I lived near the beach for about 15 of my growing up years. My grandparents built a house in Malibu, CA overlooking the ocean when I was a kid. (When I find the picture I will post it.) So, I feel like I belong there and I...

DROUGHT

  Good morning to you! Has it been raining where you are? It rained pretty good last night here. We need it. Actually we will take it all just so we aren't in the drought category. I saw on the weather yesterday that a lot of the country is in a severe drought.  Are you in a severe drought spiritually? I hope not but if you are, here are some scriptures that might help. Look to the LORD and his  strength; seek his face always. 1 Chronicles 16:11 The LORD is my strength and  my song; he has become my salvation.  He is my God, and I will praise him,  my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 So do not fear, for I am with you;  do not be dismayed, for I am your  God. I will strengthen you and help you;  I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.   Isaiah 41:10 Do you not know? Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the  Creator of the ends of the e...
