Galatians 5:22
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Imagine our lives marked by these qualities.
Imagine our church, our community, our nation and our world marked by these qualities.
Breathing in and out the love of God…
- breathe in and thank God for his love for you
- breathe out and give the love of God to others.
Try it:
Breathe in deeply…..hold….thanking God that you are loved by God.
Breathe out…. slowly….. and, as you breathe,
think of a person who needs to know the love of God today.
Now take each of the “fruit of the Spirit” one by one:
Breathe in and thank God for his love… joy… peace… patience… kindness… etc…..;
and breathe out praying for people who today need to experience that love… joy… peace…
