Fruit of the Spirit
Here is another list! Oh no! Will I ever be good enough? But I did hold back from criticising
the president/neighbour/minister even though I knew I was right. Oh fantastic, I can tick that one off!
I went to all the Lenten studies this year and know SO much more. And Yes, to self-control!
I didn’t splurge on birthday presents this year. Well, everybody’s got too much nowadays anyway
and I often don’t get presents from them. Godliness isn’t just about going to church.
I know it’s next to cleanliness so I’m getting closer. I’m not really sure about mutual affection.
There are some people who go out of their way to be difficult so it wouldn’t be mutual then would it?
And love, it’s definitely very difficult to love those who won’t make an effort.
They say God is love but what about all the disasters and the state of the world nowadays.
Please answer as honestly as you can and give yourself a mark out of 7.
For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness,
and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance,
and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.
2 Peter 1:5-7
Let us pray for our neighbours in Papua New Guinea as they face increasing poverty
with which comes increasing domestic violence. Communication is scarce but we pray
Mothers’ Union members will assist those affected by the pandemic and homelessness.
May the gifts of the Spirit works in them.
