When I first found the Love of God, I camped out in Philippians and started memorizing it. That didn’t work well, but The Word planted Itself in my soul.
Reading and meditating on the book of Philippians started to wash the brokenness and bring healing to my soul. It is this process that has filled me with Joy most of my days. Over time it also makes a fruit inspector.
We are not to judge each other, but to look for the fruit of the Spirit: Love, Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Meekness, and Self-control.
In a church we belonged to for a time, the women were about punishing their husbands and women’s lib, not walking in Love and Forgiveness.
The person I was at that time didn’t understand. One morning after church I sat by myself listening and wondering why their words and actions didn’t match up with the Bible?
This person I have become now understands everyone has a choice to submit or rebel.
The glimpse of God’s LOVE I saw and felt 40 years years ago has given me desiring to grow closer daily, so I submit. I do get selfish some, but my Desire to KNOW GOD AND HIS LOVE draws me to Submitting and Walking in Thankfulness!
God is Very Good!
