Within each of us,
the Holy Spirit lives
and His awesome power
in our lives He wants to give.
But, we must feel the fire,
the burning of desire
to call upon His strength
so His might we’ll acquire.
Once we have received,
this supernatural gift
our souls will belong to Him
and our spirit’s He will lift.
For, He’ll anchor us in His love,
in all things, we’ll have peace
and His unexplainable joy
in our life’s will never cease.
We’ll have patience for everyone,
to others we’ll be kind
His gentleness and goodness
will fill our hearts and minds.
People will see that our faith,
is humble and full of justice
for our meekness will shine
as they learn to trust us.
Within each of us,
the Holy Spirit lives
and all of His fruits . . .
He wants to give!

Galatians 5:22-23
King James Version
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

Reblogged this on 66 Assurance Way and commented:
How do others knoweth you? The nine qualities, in the Galatians 5 verses upon which this poem is based, are Good things to be known for as a Christian. To be a True Follower of Jesus, beyond the triumph of Palm Sunday and detour of Good Friday, you will need to embody many Fruit of the Spirit attributes. Thank you deborah ann. Thank you Paul. Peace be to you, Greg S.
