Thoughts on Today's Verse...

When the Holy Spirit is alive in our hearts, the character of God comes to life in us as the Spirit conforms us and transforms us with ever-increasing glory to become like Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). This transformation occurs as we focus on Jesus and pursue knowing him, following his example, and living daily for him. This transformation is the goal of our lives as a disciple of Jesus, a genuine follower of Jesus (Colossians 1:28-29; Luke 6:40). As we become more and more like Jesus, we display his character, these nine qualities that are the fruit of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

My Prayer...

Thank you, dear Father, for your Spirit within me. I consciously and intentionally yield my will and heart to your Spirit's transforming work. Please produce the fruit you desire in me - the fruit that pleases you reflects your character and brings you glory. I ask for this grace in the authority of Jesus' name. Amen.
