The Spirit God Gave Us

We all need love in our lives, but true godly love is not something that we struggle to produce through our own fleshly efforts, but can only be produced in us as spiritual fruit.. as we abide in Christ and He in us.
We need sound judgment and a disciplined minds, but we cannot achieve this by self-effort and fleshly struggling, nor can this be developed through extra-biblical training or webinars. But as we look to Jesus and willingly submit to the on-going training we will experience an inexplicable, inner peace that passes understanding.. for this is the promise of God to all whose mind are resting in Christ.
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline"

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for the Holy Spirit and thank You that our lives are hid within Christ in God. Thank You that You have not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power and love, and of a sound mind. May we not fear rejection or ridicule in this increasingly hostile world - nor fear the likelihood of persecution or pain.. and may we fan into flame our faith in Christ, in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
