What's in Your Fruit Basket?

Galatians 5:22-23.
It reads...

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 

Do I show LOVE at all times, 

show JOY even when ciaos is all around me, 

do I have PEACE about me because I know God has it under control, 

be LONGSUFFERING to others I know is struggling,

show GENTLENESS even when anger rises,

show GOODNESS to those I pass each day,

have FAITH that what I asked for will be done,

show MEEKNESS even when my mouth feels like telling someone to grow-up, and get a life, 

show TEMPERANCE even in a heated or uncomfortable situation or

conversation?

We as "Christians" walk around like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders, and it shows in our actions and on our faces.

Why would the world want anything we offer? They already have stress, gloom, depression, hate...they are craving love, joy, peace...!

Even though we have our problems just like the world, we have a Hope, and our outlook should be different.

Sometimes this is very difficult, because our flesh bucks up. If we keep a daily dose of the Holy Ghost in our lives then that helps tame the flesh and lets the love of Jesus shine through. That's what the world craves...Jesus!

Wishing You a Fruitful Day,
