Where Do You Live These At?
Galatians 5:22-23 [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
How much thought do you ever give to these verses? If our desire is to be Christ-like, then we should want these to show forth in our lives. I would dare to say that these seem to flow freely while we are at church or around other Christians. However, what about out in the world? How often do we show these traits while on the job? What about in the grocery store? What kind of temperance do you exhibit in the car when someone cuts you off? It can be very difficult at times to have these things flow freely from our lives. If we desire to be better, and desire to exude these traits then we must get closer to Christ. If we’d allow Christ to have our whole heart then the fruits of the Spirit would show in all walks of our daily lives. When was last time you had someone walk up and make this comment: “You’re a Christian aren’t you?” We get that comment when we show, “ love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance”. Are you striving to live these everyday, or just when it’s convenient?
God bless you today! Bro. Josh Richardson
