365 Days of Spirit-Filled Fruits Challenge-Day 271

My imperfectness is not alone. We are all imperfect. We are not capable of loving without failing, not without the Holy Spirit. And yet, it still must be a daily commitment to work with the Holy Spirit on perfecting your love. It starts by knowing what your family needs in terms of love. We are not all alike and like different plants need differing amounts of water and sunshine so it is for us and our needs. So, our focus on loving others has to be on learning what they need so that we can work on fulfilling that need. Today I am going to focus on my husband and work on understanding and meeting his needs for love. Who will be your focus today?

1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I am delving into the fruit of goodness. What does it mean to be good? The dictionary defines it as a quality of being, moral virtue, righteous. But if you really think about it what good means to you may mean something a little different to someone else. It can be subjective based on who is doing the defining but we have to look at what God tells us goodness is. Our source for truth is always in his Word. So, start thinking about what goodness means to you and let’s see how it compares to what the Word tells us goodness is.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
