While each of us desires the fruits of the Spirit to be present in our lives, we oftentimes make the mistake of believing them to be characteristics we “muster up” within ourselves - focusing on sheer will, our own strength, and dedication to being “better people”. This is a grave mistake because it will never work; it will never be sufficient.
As we embark on a new year, replete with goals, plans, dreams, and resolutions, we want you to purpose in your heart to begin and end 2019 not by looking to man, seeking the opinion of the experts, or striving in your own strength, but by simply walking by the Spirit.
Likewise, as we approach the month of love from whatever season we are each in - single, married, married with children, or empty nesters - may we incorporate and infuse walking by the Spirit into every part of our relationships.
