Galatians 5:22, 23 - The Fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22, 23 (NLT) But the Holy Spirit 
produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, 
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 
gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against 
these things! 

COMMENTARY PEARL

   My friend Marie was in a rehabilitation 
center while recuperating from a major surgery. 
I cant wait for you to meet my favorite 
nurse, Crystal, she said. Youll love her. 
Shes such a good Christian lady. When Crystal 
came into the room, I was immediately impressed 
by how friendly and caring she was. Crystal 
came to check on me on her day off, Marie 
said. Crystal smiled at me and said, I was 
concerned about Marie, so I brought my daughters to 
visit. Later I realized Crystal had driven over 
eighty miles to visit Marie. When I asked why 
shed traveled so far, she answered, Jesus put 
me here for a purpose. I want to spread His 
love to the people who need me. I could work 
closer to home, but I am following His will.  
   Marie and I sat in the lobby visiting. 
Many of the people who lived at the facility 
looked forgotten. I watched Crystal as she walked 
down the hall, an aura of kindness surrounding 
her as she smiled and talked to the patients. 
She stopped and readjusted someone in a chair or 
gave someone water. As we sat there, she kneeled 
beside one lady and prayed. She rubbed the 
womans back and hugged her. Crystal was being Jesus 
to these people. It was a beautiful thing to 
witness.  
   The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, 
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 
gentleness, and self-control. When Jesus is at work in 
us, the fruit of His Spirit is evident, as it 
was in Crystal. by Katie Minter Jones  
   Faith Step: Let the fruit of Jesuss 
Spirit be evident in your life today. If you know 
someone is sad or lonely, reach out with a phone 
call or stop by for a visit. Let them know they 
are loved. [Mornings With Jesus 2020 Devotional 
by Guideposts and Zondervan]  

INSIGHT

Some fruit of the Spirit God can develop in 
us only if we are in a relationship with 
others.
