It's easy to talk about living in the Spirit and allowing the fruit of the Spirit to flourish in us, but it's much harder to do in reality, because our spirit is willing but our flesh is weak, and the many temptations of the world that constantly bombard us, make it even harder. But if we sincerely believe in Christ and the Holy Spirit that indwells us, and truly listen to them, then we will be able to handle whatever comes against us, for the Lord will not leave us to suffer unnecessarily. He will either plan a way of escape, or the strength to see our problems through. That's the beauty of our God; He leaves us in a lurch! And yes, it's much easier to talk the talk, than to walk the talk, but with faith and trust, we can do both. Much LOVE!
