"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control. Against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
It is amazing to realize that even though we
know the Word of God is Truth and the Truth has set us free, if we are
not abiding in Christ, The Way, the Truth and The Life - in His Word, in
prayer, in praise and worship of Him and in fellowship with Him, then we
are not bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
Sunflowers are particularly neat… as they
grow they seem to be reaching with outstretched arms to the heavens
above. Their cheerful faces greet the morning sun with a smile, and
their uplifted heads follow its path of light throughout the day. Oh,
that we would do the same.
We must ask ourselves - Is the Word of God
planted in my heart? Am I speaking to God in prayer and listening for
and to His voice each day? Am I worshiping Him, praising Him and in
fellowship with other believers on a regular basis? Am I bearing the
fruit of His Spirit?
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He
who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can
do nothing." John 15:5
Let the sunflower be a reminder for us to
greet the SON in the morning with a smile and to keep our eyes focused
on Him every moment of the day!
May
you be mightily blessed as you seek His face and bear abundant fruit!
