Seeking God Thru the Written Word

Lovingkindness

Letting God’s love

Overflow through us to others in the

Virtues and fruits of the spirit should

Increase as we grow in Christ.

Next to godliness, our daily

Goal should be

Kindness to all.

Intuitively, we begin to learn that our

Needs are best met when we

Defer to the plan of God and His

Necessary purpose for His world.  So,

Expect His goodness to 

Supersede your every desire, while you concentrate on

Sending out the waves of His love to mankind.

The Fruits of the Spirit - Love

Listen for the voice

Of the God who made, and has a

Vested interest in His world.  Then remember that

Everything about you is important to Him.

The Fruits of the Spirit - Joy

 

Just imagining that

One day when you will see His face should cause

Your heart to pulsate with excitement.

The Fruits of the Spirit - Peace

Pummelled and

Exhausted

As I navigate the

Crevices of life, I am thankful that His loving-kindness

Endures forever.

The Fruits of the Spirit - Patience

Pulled here and there

As I contend with the

Tension between my

Inability to be still,

Expecting His perfect will, and

Needing to seize the day and take my

Chances in life. Doing the latter

Eventually challenges me to wait on Him!

The Fruits of the Spirit - Goodness

God’s passion for my life

Often keeps my

Overstretched instincts within boundaries that

Determine how I should live. 

Nevertheless,

Every bit of

Success I have

Starts when I depend on Him
