Faith, Hope and Love

These three remain

Along with the presence of the greates power ever unleashed on earth, the Holy Spirit, people who know Christ and fellowship with others of a like mind live longer and happier lives because it is our legacy as Christians. In Galatians we are reminded that the fruit of the Holy Spirit can be summarized as:

Love
Joy
Peace
Gentleness
Meekness
Kindness
Long Suffering
Self Control
Patience

If we abide in Christ these are the supernaturally natural results. These are Christian values and lead to all kinds of family, sexual and political values. Racism, hatred of minoritues, rejection of sinners and murderous intentions cannot thrive among Christians. Faith, hope and love will thrive.

Scripture says in I John that we cannot love God and hate our brothers and sisters. A plum tree does not produce lemons nor can a heart steeped in God's love produce evil.

These fruit do not come over night but, like any crop, require some cultivation and time to grow.

So, keep abiding in Him and fertilize your seeds with generous amounts of the Holy Spirits water and watch yourself change. Look for divisions to cease, rage to regress and hatreds to go away.

Be an optimist. God is in charge.
