MAY 4, Galatians 5:22

Love, joy and peace are the first sets of the 3 characteristics of the Fruit of the Spirit. They are what you have in your heart and mind. These good qualities come from your relationship with God. The more you communicate with God, the better your bond (closeness) with Him. How to communicate with God? Talk to God and read His Word every day.

Dear reader, you can have love, joy, and peacetoo. Remember, God loves you. The Lord Jesus has died on the cross for your sins. Confess Him as your Saviour. You will know great joy - because you are set free from your burden of sins. This will give you peace in your heart!

Circle the words “love” “joy” and “peace” in the following song.

Ev’ry joy or trial
Falleth from above,
Traced upon our dial
By the Sun of Love;
Stayed upon Jehovah,
Hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised,
Perfect peace and rest.
(Frances R. Havergal)

Thought: May I have love, joy and peace in the Lord Jesus.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to keep close to You, and I will always have love, joy and peace. This is my simple prayer. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
