“I am sorry. I lost my joy.”

We have all heard the phrase, “I lost my patience,” but what about the other fruits of the Spirit?

I have started using the same common phrase with my children but replacing “patience” with other fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22.

It helps me remember, as a child of God, the fruits that make up Christ’s Spirit are alive in me and available to me. I am not meant to live in a way contrary to them.

So, don’t forget the powerful truth that the same Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you! And as the day unfolds, aim to not lose…
