╬ The fruits of the Spirit are marks of a Christian who is “keeping in step with the Spirit.” Read again the fruit of the Spirit list at the top of this page. With humility, give thanks to God for those where you see his gracious work in your life. Also, ask the Lord to show you how you can continue keeping in step with the Spirit to grow in patience, kindness, gentleness, and more. 


╬ Carrying each other’s burdens means that we love and serve others. Remember a time when the Spirit helped you care for and serve another. Give thanks. Is there someone in your life today who needs some compassion and care? Ask the Lord how you might help them carry their burden.

In the companionship of the Spirit, will you seek to increase your “becoming-more” reading of the Word? ╬ Who do you know who “walks in the counsel of the world, stands with sinners, or sits with scoffers”? Pray for them! May God the Spirit create in them a great hunger for God’s Word who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
