Monday Writing..."Feeling Fruity"...4/16/18

Good Morning,

The writing today turns a visit to the grocery store into a discussion of the fruits of the Spirit.

Collette wrote,  "The Fruit of The Spirit is emotional and spiritual health, which, more times than not, translates into physical well being, as well as for our whole being. That same Fruit is very ‘edible’ and quite palatable too."

Consume all the Holy Spirit's fruits, and you will be healthy in the ways of God.

"Feeling Fruity?"
by
Collette Phillips

I picked all of these up at the grocery store, recently. I love it when something so pretty is something so healthy, and edible.

Isn’t that a nice way to think of The Fruit of The Spirit too?

When The Holy Spirit’s Fruits are visible in us it’s quite attractive. People are drawn to us for various reasons. The Fruit of The Spirit is emotional and spiritual health, which, more times than not, translates into physical well being, as well as for our whole being. That same Fruit is very ‘edible’ and quite palatable too. When we display The Spirit’s Fruit, it is sweetness for others to partake of, as well as sweetness for us. 

Father, let me be filled afresh and anew with Your Sweet Holy Spirit, each day. Give me eyes to see as You see. Give me Your Wisdom. It’s in Jesus’ Name, and Authority I ask. May it be so. 

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;
against such things, there is no law.”

Galatians 5:22-23 NASB

"HOLY SPIRIT"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God who lives in us
and teaches and guides us to do and be
what we were created to do.

He is the Comforter and the Peace Maker.
We have fruits/fruits from Him that are
ways of guidelines to follow as we walk through life.
