2 Samuel 20:1-26; Jeremiah 4:3-31; Galatians 5:10-26

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV

What a delightful cluster of fruit! This fruit has to do with our inner character. But who we are on the inside will  surely be manifested on the outside. In my teenage years, my Sunday School teacher often said, “What you do speaks so loud I can’t hear what you say!”. I have never forgotten those words. The “fruit of the Spirit” was fully displayed in the Lord Jesus. May Christ’s likeness be displayed in your life and mine, today and every day! —Jim Comte

Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me,
All His wonderful passion and purity,
Oh, Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine,
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me. —Albert Orsborn
