Signs of Life: Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self-control

This week we complete our series on the fruit of the Spirit. As we follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit, amazing fruit is produced for us to bear. I especially appreciate the last three: faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I was thinking of God's faithfulness to me just this morning. No matter what, God is always there! I can count on God and that brings such security to my life.

Even when I fail, God gently draws me back to where I need to be. And when I am in need of discipline, God exercises remarkable control in providing it for me. With the Holy Spirit at work in my life, I can bear such fruit and bless others like God blesses me. How about you? Have you found God to be all of this and more to you? If so, take a moment to thank God, especially for God's faithfulness to you.

Join us Sunday as we dig a little deeper into this delicious fruit we are called to bear. Throughout this week, look for opportunities to show your faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. God will use you to touch others in the same way God is touching you. Come celebrate our amazing God with an amazing congregation. Remember, you belong at Cornerstone. Think of someone to invite to church this week. Pray about it. Extend the invitation and see what God will do.

Rev Sandy, Pastor
