Listen to the Word
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

It seems that every time I turn on the TV someone is getting a makeover. An extra-large person is becoming skinny; an ugly duckling is becoming a swan; a fashion challenged individual is becoming the picture of style; a house that is too small and too old is becoming a palace fit for a king.

God is in the process of performing a heart makeover in you. He is renovating your character. He is working to replace your selfishness with love. He is swapping your hopelessness for joy and your anxiety for peace. He is throwing out your short fuse and replacing it with patience. He is hauling off everything that fights against him and replacing it with kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Live the Word
Which of the nine aspects of spiritual fruit is the most lacking in you? Ask God to continue his work to develop that trait in you.
