The Fruit Of The Spirit

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, generosity,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
(Gal 5: 22-23)

I experience these friuts fo the Spirit by means of God's power alone.
My part is to entrust my life to him.
When the Spirit begins to bear these fruits in my life, my dependency loses its power.
With joy and peace I overcome the pain of my broken past.
With love, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness I restore my relationships and make amends.
With patience, I persevere through the difficult times.
With self-control I stand against my tendency to relapse.
God's Spirit can supply everything necessary for a successful recovery.
