How do I get the FRUIT of the Spirit? A little at a time. Just like eating an elephant.
At first, the list of Galatians 5:22-23 is absolutely overwhelming. So, perhaps let's identify ONE to work on. Or, if you are like me, perhaps someone around you has identified an acute needfulness in your character.
We will look and see if goodness, patience and faithfulness characterizes our walk with the Spirit. We'll consider when I walk with the Spirit, the thing that always trips me up is self control, or gentleness. Or, the fruit I desire most right now is kindness, peace or love.
Yes, there will be a war there in the trenches of Christian character development. And it is there that we especially call on, entrust and rely on His Spirit. We belong to Him for a reason. If it is not here that He meets us, then where is it? bewithme.us.
