This was my devotion on my Daily Calendar today (by Dr. Charles Stanley). I liked it so much, I decided to share.
The fruit of the Sprit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. Galations 5: 22-23.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is first and foremost love. All of the other qualities associated with having the Holy Spirit flow from the presence of God's love in you. Joy is love enjoying all of the goodness of God...Peace is love resting on the promises of God...Longsuffering is love waiting for God to reveal to you and in you what He desires to reveal. Kindness is love reacting to those around you. Goodness is love choosing to do what is right...in God's eyes.
