Gifts from God
This is one of my favorites:
Galatians 5:22
But what happens when we live God's way?He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard---things like
affection for others (love ),![]()
exuberance about life (joy) ,![]()
serenity (peace). 
We develop a willingness to stick with things (patience ), ![]()
a sense of compassion in the heart (kindness) ,![]()
and a conviction that a basic holiness permiates things and people (goodness) .![]()
We find ourselves in loyal commitments (faithfulness) ,
not needing to force our way in life (gentleness) , 
able to marshal and direct our energies wisely (self- control).![]()
