Day 12-"Help me be gentle."

Day 12-"????"
So I'm out here fishing and I before I left, I forgot to see what the program's study was on for Day 12. So I'm just giong to ask God to give me something. (a few minutes later) I'm thinking about the fruits of the Spirit that are listed in Galations 5:22. I believe God wants me to study "gentleness". So the topic; "Help me be gentle." Gal 5:22

"The friut of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,gentless, goodness, faith..."Gal. 5:22 (kjv)

genlteless- usefullnes; moral excellence (in character or demeanor); goodness, kindess

WOW. When I read this definition from my Strongs, I thought,"Man, do I have a lot to work on." I believe a person doesn't always have to be the opposite of these traits outwardly but they can be inwardly. For example. I can be rude and unkind in thought but not act on them. I must get my mind right before I do act on them at some point. My spirit must be fed so those traits can become fruit which is then manifested outwardly. I want to see the results of God's gentleness.

Ps 18:35"Thou has also given me the shield of thy salvation:thy right hand hath holden me; thy gentgles hath made me great." Gal 5:22 (klv)

Jesus said he is the tree of life; whoever abides in him bares much fruit. Having the Spirit of God in me; keeping it fed by daily study, prayer, and church, I should bear the fruit of the genltless of God because not feeding it kills the fruit. Just not like not watering a plant, kills the plant. I'm am watered by the Word. In displaying the fruit of gentless the results from Ps 18:35 should be the same on others....the fruit can make another great in faith, hope. and just an up lifting of spirit and attidude. People should see Christ and not me wich will make them great in spirit.

Paul understood this when he wrote to the church in Corinth. (2 Cor. 10:1) "Now I Paul, myself beseech you by the meekness and gentless of Christ, who in presence am base, but being absent am bold towards you."

I think I can talk about God all day & try & minister all I want but without the fruit of genltless I may hurt or damage another becuase my way can be harsh. It's not what I say but how I say it and that is why I must bare the fruit. Paul got that he was only able to deal with the poeple with the Goldy resluts because he bared the fruits of Christ. My desire & prayer has always been to be a soul winner and minister to those hurting. In studying this, I see that I am not ready because my fruit has not come into it's season. Lord, help me....

My Prayer: "Dear Lord, I recognize that my state of rebellion these past few months has resulted in the death of my fruit. Help my tree to grow and bare fruit once again as I water it daily with communion with you so that I can address your people as Paul did. Thank you for being so gentle with me. I know you are in me Lord. Help be to feed your spirit daily so that those I minister and witness to may eat of the fruit thereof. In Jesus' name, amen
