Gifts from God

by: jamryn

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).
