  • Aren't you so glad Jesus is patient with us?😊️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite part of praying through the Fruit of the Spirit this summer has been meditating on how Jesus lived out each trait in the gospels—and how He continues to live it out today! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🍓 Jesus is loving. 🥝 He is joyful. 🍇 He is peaceful. 🍋 He is patient. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He is the perfect example for us to follow! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which of the Fruit of the Spirit have you enjoyed learning about the most over these past few weeks? Comment your answer below!👇

  • Would you consider yourself to be a patient person? I used to...then I had kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉 I didn't think I was selfish...until I had kids. 👉 I didn't think I was anxious...until I had kids. 👉 I didn't think I was short tempered...until I had kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I say this not to blame my children. After all, it's not my children who MADE me this way...My kids simply revealed what was already in my heart. (Ouch!!) 🤦🏻‍♀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This summer, we’re praying through the Fruit of the Spirit together, and my kids and I are having good conversations around it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The truth is… ❌ We can't be good on our own. ❌ We can't be loving, joyful, or kind on our own. ❌ We can't be patient, gentle, or self-controlled on our own. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Which is exactly why we need a Savior! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Good News is that Jesus freely gives Himself to us when we surrender ourselves to Him. 🙌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📖 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. — John 15:4-5 ESV ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What kind of fruit do we bear? The fruit of Jesus living in us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📖 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but **Christ who lives in me.** — Galatians 2:20 ESV ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you catch that? 👉🏻We don't have to try harder to be patient. Instead, we get to rest in Jesus’ patience with us. And as we spend time with Him, we won’t help becoming more and more like Him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ More patient? Yes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But more importantly, closer to Christ’s own heart for us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🥰 Tag a friend who has shown Jesus’ patience, and let her know how much she means to you.
