Easter Sunday...

Then on the third at break of dawn

The Son of heaven rose again

O trampled death where is your sting

The angels roar for Christ the King

And so...

For endless days we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord oh Lord our God

Jesus...He is Risen!!

Good Friday...

It's a strange day because things just don't look as we thought they should...reality though...nor should they!!

Because here's the truth - We will never consistently live a life of Love, Generosity and Trust if we don't truly know what God is like toward us...this is where palm Sunday helps...because this is the week where everything comes into focus!!

GNEROSITY keeps bringing our hearts back to TRUST...and when we take those steps of trust something shifts in us...

We begin to live a little more OPEN HANDED with God.

You see -

FRUIT grows in our heart, but GENEROSITY shows up in our hands.

If FRUIT is Presence Expressed, then Generosity is Formation expressed.

All Birthed in the Love of God that shows up first!!

First - LOVE that shows up.

Second - Peace and Patience create safe places.

Third - A life people can trust.

All Birthed in the Fruit of the Spirit.

And finally - Fruit, the Fruit of the spirit - Exists for others!!

When LOVE, PEACE and PATIENCE take root, something begins to stabilise us. Our character becomes consistent.

Paul tells us that when the Holy Spirit leads our lives Fruit begins to grow - Kindness, Goodness and Faithfulness...and these give people a reason to believe we're real!!

Last week we looked at love, a LOVE that shows us. LOVE is the foundation of everything the spirit grows in us. And when love begins to take root in a heart, something else begins to grow around it.

PEACE grows as we stay close to the Prince of Peace.

PATIENCE grows as we receive the patience of God.

The first sign that God is doing something in us is NOT gifting...it's LOVE!!

LOVE is how the world recognises Jesus. So if LOVE is the first FRUIT that grows, then LOVE is the first fruit that the world sees.

Our Calling is birthed in connection, our relationship with Jesus. Then from that posture of heart, this place of peace, a called people live sent!!
