Our Controlled Lives

I am in a bible study right now and one of our assignments was to pick out 3 scriptures to help us with an issue we are dealing with. One of the scriptures I chose was Galatians 5:22, 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...

When I look at this scripture it reminds me that if I give up control and focus on His Word, this fruit will be produced in me. So, today let's focus on love. Not what the world calls love but God's love. Let's pray for the following:

• That we have a revelation of how much God loves us.
• That we give up control of our lives to Him. That we are led by the Holy Spirit and not by our own will and emotions.
• That love overtakes us and we share His love with others.

In Jesus Name, Amen!
