Living by the Fruit of the Spirit

 “But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy,

peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness and self control.”

Galatians 5:22

“If you desire to have these qualities, then you know that the Holy Spirit is leading you.  At the same time,

be careful not to confuse your subjective feelings with the Spirit’s leading.  Being led by the Spirit involves the desire to hear, the readiness to obey God’s word, and the sensitivity to discern between your feelings and his promptings.  Live each day controlled and guided by the Spirit.  Then the words of Christ will be in your mind, and the love of Christ will be behind your actions, and the power of Christ will help you.”

God Says It Will Be Okay

 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not

be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you.”

Isaiah 41:19

“The phrase “God says it will be okay” reflects core belief in many religions that, despite current hardships, God has a good plan, promises to be present, and ultimately bring good outcomes.  Biblical passages such Romans 8:28 and Isaiah 41:10 are often cited, assuring that God works for the good of those who love Him and promises not to leave them.  This belief provides comfort and hope, suggesting that current struggles are temporary and part of a larger plan that will lead to ultimate peace and joy!
