Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
If we let Him teach us how to walk by His Spirit, this fruit will flow out of our inward parts and it will be evident that God is with us.
The flesh wrestles with the Spirit at times because the two don’t always see eye to eye, so to speak. This is especially true if we have been hurt, mistreated or violated in any way.
God’s Spirit moving in us will act with kindness, goodness, etc., despite what we may be feeling from the things we have been through. This is only possible by us emulating the love that God has for us.
God’s love for us has been spoken and shown through His Son’s death on the cross, even though we are a sinful people.
Romans 5:8 (NKJV) 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
While our hearts were in rebellion against Him, He acted out in love. He didn’t act in anger, hatred, violence, or in a demeaning, hurtful way.
Let His fruit take precedence in our lives that it becomes a natural way to respond to any given situation. And through it, God may get the Glory! Amen.
