The Whole Story: A Life in God's Kingdom, Part ThreeExemplo

Daily Reflection: When Jesus was hungry and turned to the fig tree for food, he found nothing where he expected to find fruit. In the temple, he was disappointed to find “a den of robbers,” where he expected to find “a house of prayer for all the nations.” And now, he expects the lives of his children to bear the fruit of the Spirit in all seasons through the Holy Spirit who lives in us and makes our bodies temples of testimony here on earth. The character of Jesus is modeled through us with counsel from the Holy Spirit himself.

Daily Demonstration: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control – see Galatians 5:22-23. When those around us who do not know the Lord look at us, may they see our savior in us as we bear his fruit. May our bodies be temples of prayer in all seasons, keeping us close to him.
