Being filled

God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways. Galatians 5:22,23

Being filled with the Spirit is a whole different world. His Spirit causes us to be conscientious of people around us, gentle and faithful. In our own strength, we can tend to be harder and rough sometimes. How much we need the power of the Holy Spirit in order to live well. Want to grow in your fruitfulness in Christ? Stay connected to Jesus. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5 Galatians was written, the author knowing about what Jesus said, recorded in the book of John. The Holy Spirit empowers us to keep the kind of character that glorifies the Lord, walking beside Jesus every day.

Lord Jesus, I want to stay connected to you and being filled with the Holy Spirit. Help my life reflect your goodness, amen.
