Are you having a rotten day? Well, stop it! Close your eyes and count to ten or look out the window and focus on a bird or a tree. Not cutting it for you? Then you need to go to the next level. Grab a bible and go to Galatians 5:22. Please don't forget to take deep breaths, ok are you with me? Read and then meditate on these 9 attributes, these gifts, from the Holy Spirit. These gifts are a bit different than the Holy Spirit's Spiritual Gifts from 1 Corinthians 12. The 9 Fruits of the Holy Spirit are one ninefold. Think of them as more of the centerpiece on a table than a bowl of fruit.
1. love
2. joy
3. peace
4. patience
5. kindness
6. goodness
7. faithfulness
8. gentleness
9. self-control
Ahhh, feel refreshed? No, ok just focus on these fruits....meditate...steady. Breath. Now simply just ask Jesus, ask the Holy Spirit, ask the Father to share this beautiful centerpiece with you. Just let the Holy Spirit do His work on you, let it happen. Now go enJOY your day!
