The Fruit Of The Spirit

 The Fruit Of The Spirit comes out from the Holy Spirit and is perfected by Him, and each facet is a jewel that beautifies the life of a believer. Each grace stands alone and yet together, the fruit of the Spirit unites into one perfect gemstone which is rooted and founded on God's love.
 The love of God pours forth a fountain of graces that are each uniquely attractive, but which intertwine together into a complimentary oneness that so exemplifies the gracious goodness of our God.
 When God's love is the first and foundational fruit, it is interesting to note that joy is the first pretty face that peeps out from the radiance of His love. Joy in the heart of the believer must be grounded in God's love.
 The wonders of salvation and mercy of God that forgives us our sins and imputes us with Christ's righteousness is joy, as is the glorious hope of our eternal home that God has prepared for all those that love Him. 
 Let us all be prepared to share the joy of the Lord with those that are in pain and be a channel through whom God pours His love into the lives of those we meet. 
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we bless you for the joy poured into our lives, for once we were lost but now we are found. May we all learn to rejoice in our sufferings and may Your joy flow through us to all we meet today and every day, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
