Monday hugs

 Sending out hugs on this awesome Monday morning.  We are so blessed to have food to eat, a place to live, water that is good to drink and not polluted and most of all, a risen Savior.  There are so many in the world right now, including some close to home, who are hurting, have no place to live and do not know Jesus.  Be a light to someone today.  Shine His light for all the world to see.  I love y'all!!! 

If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  (Galatians 5:25)

The fruit of the Spirit should be shinig in us and demonstrated even when cir****tances and relationships take a turn for the worse.  Unconditional love should be shining the brightest at that time.  The reason for this is that the fruit of the Spirit is just that - it is fruit produced by the Spirit of God.  It is not fragile.  It is not subject to change.  Its root is deeply embedded in the person of Christ.  When we abide in Him and allow Him to live His life through us, the result is one of a character that will last through any challenge in life.  We all mess up, but all we have to do is ask God to forgive us and He will.  You will notice that this is singular fruit...you cannot walk in just one of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit....they all go hand in hand.  Either we have them all or we have none.  I have to admit, I miss the mark many many times.  I am so thankful that my God is a forgiving God. 

 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)

Good Morning Carmen,  hope you have a blessed day and here is your Monday Morning Hugs.
