What I am about to talk about is so critically important that I don't know where to begin. In Galatians 5:16, the Bible teaches the Fruit of the Spirit. They are the character, conduct, and commitment of God that we are to have in us. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, , gentleness and self control.
My Pastor put it so eloquently when he said that you must BE these things. Saints it is not acceptable just to have these in your life. You must BE these things every moment of each and every day. You must be these things when times are hard, when others forsake, hurt, disappoint you. If something or someone gets on your last nerve, then you need to get new nerves. If someone gets you all rouled up and pushes your button, then you need to get a new button.
We need to stop having these characteristics only when it is easy or convenient. We DO NOT serve a easy or convenient GOD! He wants us to be at our absolute BEST. So BE these things at ALL times. You bring others to God when they can see who you are through to your core. What comes out of your mouth is secondary.
If you love God and seek God at ALL times then this becomes your nature. Live your best life. Let the Fruit of the Spirit not just live inside of you, but be so bright that even the Devil gets blinded and tumbles down.
