Who couldn't use more joy, more self-control, more love? Galatians 5:22-23 says "But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, He will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law".
Wow, all I have to do is let the Holy Spirit control my life? I want to let Him control, but honestly sometimes I forget. Sometimes I get caught up in doing things my way. For example I was extremely irritated this weekend because I needed help with the kids and the house. I thought I was in the right to have a break down and just yell. The end result? I felt horrible after doing it. I think I should be able to discuss what is bothering me with my husband but I should seek Him and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me both in timing and my words.
Let's pray today for a Holy Spirit Controlled life:
Lord I thank you for who you are. I pray that your word comes alive in me as I read it. I thank you for giving us the Holy Spirit. I commit to letting the Him control my life. Help me get past my flesh and see every decision, ever reaction as an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to lead me. I thank you that my husband and my children are led by the Holy Spirit in all that they do. In Jesus Name, Amen.
