The Fruit of the Spirit is GOODNESS.
Yesterday we considered how:
- God’s GOODNESS leads and guides us through this dark world.
- God’s GOODNESS surrounds and protects us in the middle of the utter darkness.
- God’s GOODNESS fills our life to shine the LIGHT of Jesus here in this darkness.
- And God’s GOODNESS will one day take us to heaven to live with Him forever.
“Surely GOODNESS and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” -Psalm 23:6
Our background photo today shows light and hope at the end of the tunnel!
