SMALLEST GESTURES

Sometimes the smallest gestures go right to heart.

A smile from A STRANGER when you are lost in a crowd,

An OLD FRIEND calling from a distant land just to say I MISS YOU

The touch of MOM’s hand on your forehead when you are unable to sleep,

A FRIEND asking you what is wrong when you thought no one noticed,

A HAND on your shoulder when it feels like the world is against you,

An unexpected, but badly needed HUG from the one you love the most.

I wish, you get all these,whenever you need them.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. – (Galatians 5:22-23)

Sometimes we confuse “fruit of the Spirit“ by calling them “fruits of the Spirit“. This seems like such a small thing; but, unfortunately, this small thing can lead us to a dangerously false conclusion.

The fruit of the Spirit involves all nine of these qualities. We can’t excuse a lack of growth in one area or another as simply not having all the fruits of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is working to create the character of Jesus in us (2 Cor. 3:18; see Gal. 4:19). He wants to see us growing in each area and not excuse ourselves from one of these qualities of Jesus.

I don’t know about you, but there are several in which I need to grow — but I believe the Spirit is making progress in them. Let’s keep encouraging each other to let the Spirit lead us to become more like Jesus in every way!

Prayer : O Precious Father, God Most High, thank you for your patience, grace, and forgiveness. I want the Holy Spirit to lead me and empower me to grow in every way, but especially so that I can be more like Jesus in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Thank you for hearing my prayer offered in Jesus’ name. Amen.

If we might have a second chance
To live the day once more,
And rectify mistakes we’ve made
To even up the score.

If we might have a second chance
to use the knowledge gained,
Perhaps we might become at last
As fine as God ordained.

But though we can’t retrace our steps,
However stands the score,
Tomorrow brings another chance
For us to try once more
