Fruit of the Spirit
‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance,
kindness, faithfulness and self-control’
(Galatians 5:22-23)
Relationships change us. When Jesus becomes our Lord, we are transformed.
He gifts us with his Spirit and the Spirit works within us to make us more like Jesus, day by day.
The wonderful fruit of the Spirit, beginning with love and ending with self-control, could
be a description of Jesus himself. As we know, we must struggle with sin and seek to live like Jesus.
But we also realise that we cannot do this on our own, but by the power of the Spirit of God.
Thank God for his wonderful mercies!
Question for thought: Am I thanking God for the wonders of his grace?
Our Father in heaven, we give thanks for the members in Bunbury, Western Australia
and Rockhampton in Central Queensland and for their commitment to serving you.
May they continue to do the good works you have prepared for them to walk in as they
support families and those facing challenges and share with them about your love and mercy. Amen.
