So how about it? Spiritual Fruit Smoothie? Any takers?
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control." -Galations 5:22
I do apologize for the 21 day lapse in entries, that was definitely not intended. That being said, I hope that you all are well and that you see the Father's hand at work in your lives in His wonderous ways. Lately I've been working on my Spiritual Fruit Smoothie. It's quite a delicious enrichment for my soul. As some of you know there is a certain someone in my life that I care for very much. This person has been hurt in the past and is it seen through their actions. Many people have told me to walk away and that he isn't worth my time and care. I am in disagreement with that statement.
We all have been broken in many ways, spiritually and physically. We all take time to heal these wounds, and maybe we just need the right person to come along and be patient with us while we heal. Find the right person to be compassionate and understanding. God would always be tender-hearted, understanding and patient with His children, why should we treat each other any differently?
I am not saying that we can all be perfect like God, but we should strive to be more like Him. Focus on each of the fruits of the Spirit. Take time to fully understand what they mean. There are 3 things that have become increadibly clear to me over the past few weeks: 1) God is constantly showing off! He is forever molding me and shaping me for His service and always puts me in awe of His glory. 2) Patience truly is a virtue. I never realized how impatient I was until these past few weeks. He has taught me so much on patience, just because of this situation. 3) Silence is not a bad thing. Why I've always been afraid of silence is now a mystery to me. All the noises of this world can be a distraction from the silent time our heavenly Father wants to have with us, to speak to us. Be still an know that He is God!
So basically life has been fairly busy for me over the past few weeks, but in amazing ways. God has answered my financial prayers and given me a job teaching private voice lessons at West High School. What a gift and it's something that I love! God also gave me the opportunity to have the role I wanted in Street Scene, which tells me that He truly wants me to perform as well as teach. I had doubts about my performing as a career and I prayed about it and He answered. I am learning patience and an alarmingly fast rate. On the other hand however, my patience for my diet to be done is not so great. So spiritually my diet is going to be Spiritual Fruit Smoothies for a little bit. I hope some of you take the time for your own Spiritual Fruit Smoothie this week and think about how satisfying they are to your soul! God Bless!
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light." - Colossians 1:10-12
