But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Galatians 5:22
God gives us many fruits of the Spirit when we are saved. One of the great blessings is peace.
We do not need to be worried or afraid. God promises peace. We need to demonstrate that peace to others. We should live a peaceful life at home, in the workplace and wherever we are.
We are calm and quiet in all circumstances, not adding stress in any situation. If this is not your personality ask the Lord to help you obtain peace.
This week we will look at the Fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5.
The first fruit is love. Every born again believer should have all of the fruits. We have the Holy Spirit living in us when we accept Jesus as our Savior.
Jesus tells us in the Bible to love the Lord first and our neighbor as ourselves. How are you doing with this first fruit?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:37-39
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 15:12
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
You don’t have to go to church, it is a privilege to go to church to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus.
Remember 2020 when we could not go? In some countries people still cannot go to church and worship freely. We are so blessed in America to be able to go to the church of our choice and worship wherever and whenever we want.
Are you not going because it is more comfortable to stay home? If you can get out, you are not sick, not taking care of someone who is ill or you are working, then you should go to church.
Mother, you have the greatest blessing from God, next to your salvation, in your children. Today, even if they have disappointed you or seem to be a burden, remember that God gave them to you to bring them up to serve Him.
Sometimes it is hard and feels like an impossible job, but God is with you to give you wisdom, grace and love for them.
So today, give them your time, kind words and a special hug. You have the greatest gift in them.
A mother has the most influence on a child’s life. What she says and does teaches her children on how they should speak and act.
As Christian moms we should teach our children the Word of God from the beginning of their lives. We start by singing songs about Jesus. Read them stories from the Bible. Most of all pray with them and for them.
Our words are so important!! Speak softly and kindly. Listen to them. Be careful to encourage and not set a bad example by harsh or unkind words.
Being a mother is the most important job in the world. We never know what our children will become. We may be training that child to be great for God. A little girl who could influence a country like Esther, or a little boy a great leader like Moses.
There is nothing so precious as a photo of a Mother with her child.
Mother’s Day is coming on Sunday in the USA, But it is a good thing to honor your Mother wherever you live, not just on a special day but everyday.
Ephesians 6:2&3 Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Pray your Pastor will preach the truth with power of the Holy Spirit.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12, KJV
There is a children’s song “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”
As Christians we need to let our light shine by telling others, especially people who do not know Jesus, how they can be saved by believing in His death, burial and resurrection.
When we hide our light under a bushel, we are not doing what the Lord ask us to do in His word.
Let your light shine today!
Matthew 5:16 – Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
