I love the fruit of the Spirit flowing out of me to others, and I love the fruit of the Spirit flowing to my own heart.
"The fruit of the Spirit is...faithfulnesss, gentleness, self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23 ( NASB)
The Spirit inside us expresses these traits to us:
Faithfulness - He will always do just as He promised and will never let us down. He won't ever leave or forsake us. He will be a loyal friend and will never stop loving us or being there for us. He won't reject us or let us go. He's faithful to hold us up and not let us fall. He will always be there to support me, defend me against the enemy's accusations, and protect my heart from evil. He will always come through for us.
Gentleness - He's never harsh with us. He doesn't kick us when where down. He always says just the right thing to encourage us and help me and never to discourage us. He never crushes our spirit, never wounds us. Instead He gently loves and heals us. He knows how tender and vulnerable wounded people are, and He is ever-sensitive to all our needs.Self-Control - He won't blow His temper with us. We'll never get on His last nerve. He doesn't get irritated and fly off in a rage and punish us. He is calm. He never gets bored with us. He never just puts up with us, never merely tolerates us. He LIKES having us around. His actions toward us are perfect. He will always be exactly what we need Him to be for us at each moment. His great heart meets our every need in super-abundance!
A Thought: He is so faithful, gentle and easygoing towards me!
