love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self control
Tim Keller talks about them all being linked together…how can we know if we are growing? if you’re growing in all of them
I also notice that when I am lacking in “some” of them…I’m technically lacking in all.
when I have a lack of joy and peace, I notice that the amount of patience I have for people…especially my students…is lacking…which then effects my kindness, goodness and gentleness…definitely my self-control. which ultimately all effects my love, and faithfulness.
Lord help me to find all these things in you and your Spirit, so that I may be better at reflecting them to others
