Bringing the Fruit Salad

 

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

(Feel free as much 

            as we are able

to exhibit these elements

that mark us

         as believers.

We are known as His

not just by what we do,

     but who we are,

    and how we treat others

in unexpected,

    volatile,

or everyday encounters.

What are we practicing

and nurturing today

  in our appointments?)

O LORD,

Please make us aware

of opportunities today

to bring Your fruit

             to them.

Help us to not just

rattle off a familiar list,

   but live out

what they mean in real life.

May we be distinguished

  by each one

for Your glory.
