Scripture Reading
Galatians 5:22-23
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.
Reflection
These nine qualities are a single fruit — not a menu from which we select our favorites — the unified character of a Spirit-formed life. Note that they are fruit, not achievements: they grow rather than being manufactured. A gardener does not produce fruit by straining over the tree; he tends the conditions of growth. Tend your relationship with the Spirit today, and trust that what He grows in you will nourish those around you.
Prayer for Today
God, I thank You for granting me the resolve to stand before You today in acceptance of my faults and wrongs. I know I have treated him/her badly and the pain I'm feeling is due to my levity on the part of his/her feelings. Please, God, I pray for an
opportunity from You to apologize for my wrongdoings. He or she is the other half of methe one that makes me whole. Father, I believe he or she is my completion and I pray that he returns to me. With open hands, I'll welcome
him/her into my warm embrace. Thank You once again for another miracle, Amen.
