Were always in one way or another getting tested and tried when it comes to developing our fruits of the spirit for the Lord…for daily in all of our lives, circumstances and situations come our way..and test us and tries us in some form or fashion..we get stuck in traffic..we spill our morning coffee…we get rushed to appointments only to find ourselves waiting in the waiting room for almost an hour to even be seen by our Doctors…we have things that’s been planned end up not going as planned…our cars break down, we blow tires on our vehicles, to even maybe just forgetting about the gas light and running out of gas, to being tired, to being hungry..and well the list it does always go on and one…but it is in those moments of happenings that as well it seems that a whole lot more so to speak gets thrown at us…kinda like at them moment the testing’s of our fruit begins to happen…and is it not true that when were placed in easy situations and circumstances that as well we don’t have to work on anything of who we are because were already developed in that special kind of fruit…that self fruit…because how many of ya know that when things go our way…we are all so wonderfully happy and content…when all is well and every one is peaceful and no storms are brewing around, that we are the most kindful, helpful, loving, most compassionate individuals that you’ll ever meet in all of your life…but when the HARD TIMES come…that’s when our true, blue colors come forth…that’s when the Lord is truly and honestly working on us and molding us..that’s when we are tested and tried…that’s when them good and godly fruits that the Lord speaks of in His word comes forth and comes forth in great ways and in great measures for us…see the Lord needs us to be full with His fruit of the spirit…He needs us to model after Him and His ways…He needs us to be different in the way that we react to those things that happen and happen suddenly in life, in all of our lives cause that’s when we shine brighter guys then we will ever shine..when we choose to walk in love..choose to walk in peace….choose to live a life of happiness….choose to suffer affliction other than have a season of sin in our lives…Hebrews 11:25…for word says this..The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law…Galatians 5:22-23…so let us grow and mature in our walks for guys that’s what makes all the difference in the world when children of the Lord live their lives modeling after our Lord Jesus…and that does take work and that takes determination on our parts..and it does take willingness to be obedient and be different..and as we always know that always falls right back into our own laps…so let us grow up and deny that ole self and that old way and that old man…Ephesians 4:22..and let’s get to renewing our minds..Romans 12:2..and changing them attitudes and living that good wholesome, peaceful, joyful life that the Lord Jesus died that we all can and should be living…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
