Let’s finish up with: Faithfulness – As a believer, we always refer to Jesus as, faithful. Aren’t you thankful that He is?

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness…..” Galatians 5:22-23 Have you ever me someone that was just a good person. They just seemed to do things right. They love people, they don’t have issues all the time and they just take people as they are. If someone has an issue with them, they just shrug it off and say, “I’m who I’m supposed to be, I guess that is their problem.” Good people are good stewards with their talent, their homes, their money and their possessions. That is how I would describe a…

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, longsuffering, kindness…” Galatians 5:22 Kindness is the next fruit to talk about.

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy….” Galatians 5:22 In my last post, we talked about the Fruit of the Spirit and focused on love. Today, we will take a quick look at joy. We all know people who we would describe as joyful. They are happy, funny and always excited about something. These types of people are fun to have around and be around. The joy that this verse is talking about is a bit different. When we have Christ in our lives and have realized what He did for us on that cross many years ago,…
