DEAR READERS, AS WE COME TOGETHER AGAIN TO SHARE A
SHORT WORD, LET US TRULY OPEN OUR HEARTS TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT.

THE TEXT IS TAKEN FROM, GALATIANS.5:19-23. K.J.V

 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

IT IS EASY TODAY TO SEE FIRST HAND THE WORKS OF THE
FLESH.BUT, HOW REFRESHING IT IS WHEN WE COME FACE TO FACE WITH THOSE WHO WALK ABOUT IN THE SPIRIT.
WHEN WE SEE JOY FILLED FACES, HEAR SOMEONE SPEAK WORDS OF LOVING CONCERN.

SEE THE PEACE OF GOD MANIFEST ON THEIR FACES.
WATCH AS THEY COME UP AGAINST ADVERSITY, YET HIS PEACE NEVER LEAVES THEIR FACES.
BUT, WITH LONGSUFFERING AND A REACHING OUT TO THE LOWLY SHEPHERD, THEY REMAIN STEADFAST IN THE STORM.

AN OTHERWORLDLY GENTLENESS ACCOMPANIES EVERY MOVE, THEY DELIGHT IN GOODNESS.
A STRONG FAITH IN A HOLY, POWERFUL REDEEMER, BUOYS
THEM, AND ALL THEIR WORKS ARE FILLED WITH A SPIRITUAL MEEKNESS.
A SELF CONTROL UNCOMMON TO NATURAL MAN GUIDES THEM THROUGH THEIR DAYS.

HOW MANY OF US DESIRE TO SO LIVE.?
TO BE AS A TREE PLANTED BY THE WATER...HEALTHY AND
WHOLE SPIRITUALLY. THIS IS GOD'S DESIRE THAT WE LEARN TO TRUST HIM SO.

THE WORLD IS A BIG SCARY PLACE AT TIMES, AND WE FEEL SO SMALL...SICKNESS, PAIN AND DIS-EASE LEAVE US FEELING BROKEN, TIRED AND IN A WAY USED UP. THEN WE HEAR HIM WHISPER, "I NEVER WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE".

HE HAS NEVER FAILED ME, AND I INVITE YOU TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE IN YOUR LIFE. OUR PRAYERS REMAIN WITH YOU.
