Gal 5:16-23

Truths

– these truths are the way Jesus interacts with us. 

Love is self-giving service to others and cannot be true without action put to it.

Joy is rejoicing in the Lord in this life. (Be positive people, glad to be alive.). You’re looking at the big picture not the small picture view of your life. 

Peace is in harmony with God and others. (Peaceful with others.)

Patience (Long-suffering) is endurance under provocation with no thought of retaliation. [Yikes!!]. Not giving up…

Kindness is showing concern for others. Treating others the way we want to be treated. 

Goodness is overriding sense of wanting to do what is right. 

Faithfulness is loyalty and reliability. 

Gentleness is controlled strength. It is not weakness.  Voluntarily surrendering your right to someone else. 

Self-control is the restraint of your natural impulses.
