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)

This week's Scripture gives us a description of the fruit that develops in our character when we live connected to the Holy Spirit. The nine traits listed there overflow in God, and when we are close to him they rub off on us. The more we live life connected to him, the more we grow to be like him. When the Spirit of Christ dwells in our hearts, the character of Christ shines in our lives.

Live the Word
As often as it comes to mind, pray this breath prayer today: "Make me like you, Lord."
