Receive the Joy of the Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit

There was a women I knew who had a beautiful jar for storing pennies.

Thousands of them, just sitting there, not doing or accomplishing anything.

Christ's church was never meant to be like that penny jar.

After Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven, He gave us something incredible—the fruit and spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Every believer in Christ receives this so that we can each do our part in advancing God's kingdom.

When we discover our gifts and bear the fruit of the Spirit, something amazing happens.

God uses us to bless others and further His kingdom. And you know what? It blesses and encourages us too!

Don't let your gifts be like those pennies in that beautiful jar. Let's unleash them and make a difference!

Lord God, thank you for the gifts of the Spirit and the fruit of the Spirit.

Thank you for equipping us to carry out your will in our lives, in our homes and churches, and in the world. Amen.
