Day 2

Listen to Today’s Reading:

How do you measure if your relationship with Jesus is growing? What should you see happening in your life?

I want to share something that has really helped me as I grow in my relationship with Jesus. Grab a notebook, your Bible, and give us 10 minutes!

Today’s Passage: Galatians 5:22–23

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

That’s quite a list—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Write it out!

When you follow Jesus, his Spirit lives in you, so you will see growth in the areas listed in this verse. In other words, you’ll find it easier to be patient or show kindness. You’ll realize that you can find peace, even when things are stressful. You’ll have self-control in areas that used to be a struggle.

Reflect: Look at the list and think about how you’re doing in each area. Pick one or two where you need to grow.

Pray: Pray and ask God to help you specifically in that area.
