:: The Fruits of the Spirit ::

Really desired that you may bear the fruits from your walk of life in this world, before we see Jesus Christ our Lord face to face at the white judgement throne of our Heavenly Father.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

1. Love -- an attitude that moves us to put God and others ahead of ourselves. A spirit that impels us to give, to serve, and to forgive.
2. Joy -- a spirit of gladness rooted in our faith, expressed through song, and accompanied by an optimistic spirit.
3. Peace -- inner serenity derived from God and based on the reality of our peace with God through Christ's sacrifice.
4. Longsuffering -- patience in the midst of difficult circumstances and in our relationships with difficult people.
5. Gentleness (kindness) -- practicing the golden rule of treating others as we expect them to treat us.
6. Goodness -- open, honest, pure, and generous behavior.
7. Faith -- we can be trusted and depended on in all our relationships.
8. Meekness (gentleness) -- a tenderness of spirit that enables us to discipline others properly, to endure persecution graciously, and to witness to others sensitively.
9. Temperance (self-control) -- the quality that gives us control over our desires, especially those that relate to the body.

May God help us in attaining the above fruits of spirit for the days to come. Let's pray for His guidance.

God Bless,
Beng
