We all want it, yet find it difficult to attain, a good and beautiful life. As we look around our current context, we see so much division and discord, but the book of Galatians offers us hope. In this ancient letter, the apostle Paul outlines the outcomes of a life centered on Jesus Christ. These virtues and realities should be a part of our every day lived experiences: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, and self control.
