Each of the fruits of the Spirit are amazing, but I have to say that I do really love the idea of having peace everywhere I go. To be in a state of inner harmony and to not be at war is an amazing ability in us.
We can so often go through our lives feeling so busy, so crazy that everything within us seems to be at war. Decisions that need to be made can rip us apart if we allow them, bu then when the Holy Spirit gives us the gift of peace everything seems to silence around us. All the craziness and the busy-ness goes away, the decisions are made eaiser.
The question I find myself asking is... how do we share this peace? I guess it's not something that we are necessarily able to share, but we can show the peace that the Holy Spirit has given us in the way that we act. We can show the peace that is inside our lives when we react calmly to what would normally be a stressful situation. When someone comes up to us in a completely lost, crazy and confused state, when we react with the Holy Spirit guidance, we can react with peace and again demonstrate the power of the Holy Spirit working through us.
"I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid..." (Leviticus 26:6)
Peace allows us to not be afraid, to let go of any fears and doubts and just go forward with God's will!
Thankful for: Friends
I have a great bunch of friends! I don't have anything particular to say about them, only that I am thankful for them.
