When you go to God, do you only go to Him for your needs and wants?

How is your relationship with Him?

Think about if your children never came to you in love, but only came to you for the next new thing, wouldn’t that affect you?

In the Fruit of the Spirit Series, gentleness sometimes gets forgotten about.  Being gentle comes easily to most mothers and parents, but some have never experienced gentleness.  They might not even know how to be gentle or how to love others.  Where it is impossible with man, it is always possible with God.  The fruit of the spirit means it comes from your spirit.  Your flesh prefers to be harsh and severe and wants to always be right, but your spirit wants to love and be patient and kind and gentle.  Yield to your spirit, to the Spirit of God within you; know that, no, you cannot do this on your own, but you can do all things through Christ Who strengthens you.
