“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ‘s
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in
the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit”
Galatians
6:22-25
Is Your Fruit Sweet or Sour?
Fruit is so good most times. However; have you ever bitten into a
sour grape? Not good! I know that when I bite into a fruit that I expect
to be sweet and it is sour, I just want to toss it away. When I come in
contact with another believer I expect them to be sweet not sour. Sweet
is defined as kind, gracious, pleasing and delightful. Sour is defined
as harsh in spirit and temper, disagreeable and unpleasant. There have
been many times that the fruit I have tasted and seen from other
Christians has been sour. Thereby causing me not to desire to be around
them. I myself have yielded some sour fruit causing people to stay away
too! Again not good. If the Spirit of God lives in us than our lives
should bear fruit of His abiding. Fruit that is sweet and pleasurable to
God. If you would yield to
the Holy Spirit in you He will cause you to bear fruits of
righteousness. He will cause you to walk in a way that is pleasing to
the Father.
Confession:
Father today as we go about this day, I pray
that the fruit we bear will be pleasing to You. I pray that everything
we do and everything we say will bring glory and honor to Your name.
Reveal to us any fruit that is sour and displeasing. Thank You for it,
in Jesus name I pray, Amen
