It's in our stillness that Jesus pours out his spirit on us. In this pouring comes the transformation. But, we must choose to die to our flesh daily to allow the spirit to be the driver in our lives.

We must choose to get quiet, to get still, to carve out that time just to be in his presence & usher him while giving our undivided attention, our hearts & minds. Doing this is how we begin to recognize and hear the voice of God.

Because of Jesus Love for us & commitment to us, he died & shed blood- we are charged to have that same love and commitment to those that we are in "friendship" with.

Its only in being and staying connected to Christ that we are able to fulfill the desires that God has for us in this realm. It is only in seeking him that we receive the clarity. It is only in him that we receive the Holy Spirit which serves as a inner compass. It is only in being and staying rooted in Christ that we continue to grow Spiritually.

Our Spiritual diet is similar to our Physical diet- so then the question becomes, what are you feeding yourself?

Peace is the product of the work of the spirit within because if the heart is wrong there can not and will not be peace- Jesus made peace by his blood, so, we get it only by keeping in full touch with him.

Gods word sets the basic principles for peace in the human heart- We have to allow the peace of christ rule in our hearts according to Colossians 3:15-16.

Like love, it takes practice to understand and feel it. We share love with others through kind acts such as a smile, a nice word, or an unexpected deed. The goal is for each of us to be as kind to others as Jesus Christ in his mercy has been to us.

So, today let our prayer be for God to make us a Blessing.

This character trait is one that God desires to see in his sons/daughters therefor the Holy Spirit is waiting & ready to bring this trait to full maturity in our lives.

Goodness encompasses moral excellence, honesty, and righteousness. Christians, in our lifestyle, are to be morally honorable in our actions, thoughts, and speech- this is pleasing to God. WE are to be zealous of goodness and in doing so it allows us to overcome evil but also show to the world the “Goodness” of God.

Meekness & Gentleness has everything to do with our attitude towards God. When have this posture towards God, it effortlessly flows out of us towards others.
