Galatians 5:22–23
[22] God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, [23] gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.
Each new day brings opportunities to grow, to react, to respond — and to reflect the heart of God. As I prayed this morning, I was reminded that we need to prepare our hearts before the day even begins. The verses above show us the standard — the Fruits of the Spirit — the evidence of God living within us. This is where we set our aim.
Not every day will go perfectly. The enemy will try to trip you up. There will be moments when anger rises, when frustration builds, when yelling feels easier than showing grace. But those are the same moments when we have the opportunity to let God’s light shine through us.
Love like God loves.
Be joyful.
Be peaceful.
Be patient.
Be kind.
The Fruits of the Spirit aren’t about perfection — they’re about direction. Each day we aim to live more like Christ, knowing we’ll fall short sometimes but pressing forward anyway. The world around us is dark and hopeless, but when we walk in the Spirit, we become beacons of His light. We show others that there’s more to life than chasing money, success, or comfort.
We have purpose. We have hope. Our God conquered death, and because we believe in Him, we believe that lives can be healed and hearts restored. Through the Spirit’s power, we can pray and see mountains move. We can boldly stand in faith and watch giants fall.
What an exciting life we live when we let the Fruits of the Spirit lead us! Every day becomes
another opportunity to expand God’s Kingdom and point others toward His saving grace.
Galatians 5:24, 26
[24] And because we belong to Christ Jesus, we have killed our selfish feelings and desires.[26] But don’t be conceited or make others jealous by claiming to be better than they are.
Prayer:Thank You, Father, for another day to walk in Your Spirit. Help me to live out the Fruits of the Spirit in my words, my actions, and my heart. Let Your love and light shine through me today. Amen.
