Last night during feedback, Jessica wrote
out the fruits of the Spirit and put them on little papers.
The fruits of the Spirit are: (Galatians
5:22)
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
and Self-Control
We then had to close our eyes and choose a
random paper, and then live as that thing during the following day.
Mine was LOVE.
I always say “I love, love” and
love is something I think about often.
My favorite quote is :
“The greatest thing you’ll ever know,
is how to love and be loved in return.”
But what does this all mean…how do you
live as love?
The dictionary defines love as an Intense
feeling of deep affection.
The word Love is one of the most used in the
Bible. The greatest commandment is to love your God with all your heart, mind,
body and soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself.
Romans 12 says : Don’t just pretend to love
others, really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good.
Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each
other…Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will
bless them.
What does it mean to you…to live as love?
