The Fruit of the Spirit, Can you see it in yourself....

Galations 5:22-25 says"; But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodnesss, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirt."Is it always easy to live by the fruit of the spirit? No, it is not, but we should be trying everyday , not for ourselves, not for others, but for Christ. I always taught my children to put everything in its order. If we choose to put Christ first, everything else seems to fall into place, and we bring Him glory by doing so. It doesn't say we should do these things just with our family or just with friends, it's meaning everyone. If we put on all these just think how much better our days would go,does it mean each day will be perfect? No, but we will have a better attitude towards our situations. How much better we could reach out to others, if only we had more of the fruit of the Spirit. The world teaches us the opposite, to put ourselves first. That we deserve what we have or want. Just do it, is the motto of many. This is simply not the way. If we choose to put on these things we too will look more like Jesus, and others might just catch on to what we have....
