We
Live By The Spirit
But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness
and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit,
let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and
envying each other.
Galatians
5:22-26
We can’t do much about
the faces we are born with, but we can do something about the kind of person we’re
growing into. We can pray for humility, patience, kindness, tolerance,
gratefulness, forgiveness, peace, and love.
By God’s grace, and in His
time, may we grow toward an inner resemblance to our Lord, a likeness reflected
in a kind, old face.
There’s
nothing like the beauty of a loving heart.
