Fruits of the Spirit

Today I'm gonna give you this favorite thing. A scripture.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22‭-‬23

Some of you might remember a post I made about 8 months ago about a little, insignificant, non-chalant prayer for joy.  It came from having this scripture on my dashboard. I was so amazed at how powerfully God answered that prayer just 6 weeks in. You know that Taylor Swift song where she's asking God to play it again, that was me. I just wanted more of that same thing. 8 months later, it HAS. NOT. STOPPED!

Anyone out there read Strega Nona where Big Anthony decides to make pasta in Strega Nona's pasta pot but he misses part of the spell and the pasta just keeps coming? Like that!!! I am in such awe. That prayer that came from a scripture on my dashboard on a whim has changed my life. Or I should say God has changed my life through that prayer.

I could write a book on all the small and big things that God has done here. But y'all have other things to get to, so back to Strega Nona, I've ridden all that pasta down the hill into the village and instead of "play it again" I just want to know what's new today!? I want more!  I just want to run around and give every person this!!! If I could wrap it up and hand it out I would spend the rest of my days making deliveries!

I don't know if a prayer for Joy looks like this for everyone. Maybe you need love or patience. But, these fruits of the spirit are the things that we are supposed to have if we're in Jesus. And it says against such things there is no law. So I'm just gonna believe that 1. Y'all all got right with Jesus Friday if you weren't already or you're gonna go on and hop on board now and 2. Since you are His child, He is just waiting for you to throw one of these at Him so he can open up heaven and rain down the apples, or bananas, or love, or patience, or self-control whatever you want to try first. Brace yourself! You're gonna need a BIG basket!!!
