Galatians 5:22-24 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
These characteristics or fruit describe the very nature of Christ. They are to be evident in my life. However this does not come from me somehow trying to produce these things but rather Christ in me doing His work. I must allow Him to do the work. I must give Him control, I must daily surrender to Him and allow Him to live in me. For if I am in Christ I am a dead man already because I have been crucified with Him. He makes me alive, He brings new hope, He is the one who lives in and through me. Today Lord may your fruit be seen in my life. May others know that I follow you.
Father help me to surrender to you so that you can live through me today.
