Reaping fruits; Lending a Hand
There 9 fruits that identify ones character. I know I need to work double-overtime for my fruits. I have problems with PATINCE, GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL AND PEACE (pretty much all of them). I have been praying to be guide by the holy ghost on what to do so I can receive my fruits. The “works of the flesh” has knocked me down and keep me down for a while. I’m trying to raise above and let the holy ghost be in me, teach me and guide me as I establish my walk with Jesus. I’m going to follow the exercise instructions on page 49.
Jesus said love your neighbor as your self and He also said Freely you have received, freely give. Just like the story of the good Samaritan, we need to help or reach out to everyone we can. I enjoy giving my time to help others in need. Granted, my time is limited because I have a family and a full time job. I think by giving, it don’t matter if its money, time, food or a shelter, it’s a testimony that we are obedient to God. 2 Cor. 9:7-Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Because of family responsibilities and jobs, we may not be able to give what we think is “a lot of time”, but I think God is first of all interested in how give the time that we do have and are faithful with what we have.
And keep nurturing those fruit!
