I am starting a series for wives!

I invite everyone who wants to truly see their life with Christ and marriage flourish to join me over the next few weeks as I break down the Fruit of The Spirit from Galatians chapter 5. God’s Word states that as Christ’s followers we should be producing good fruit for God! Reading John 15:1-17 should be the first thing you do in this series! It is Jesus describing himself as the True Vine and God as the Vine Dresser. 

Jesus calls us to go forth and bear fruit.

“You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you” John 15:16.

Jesus is not referring to just ANY fruit, he is referring to good fruit, as is evidenced in Matthew 7:15-20. Jesus even says you will know a false prophet by their fruit. 

“A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.” Matthew 7:18. 

That is how important it is for us as Christian’s to bear good fruit! If you should know a false prophet by the fruit he bares, you should also be able to tell a Christian by the fruit they bear. The world should be able to see Jesus in you! And guess who else should be able to? Your husband. 

Ministry begins at home. A woman’s pulpit is in her home. It is in her home that she is shaping the minds of her children toward Jesus, raising arrows for The Lord so that they may by fired into the world to witness for Him. It is in a kind smile when her husband is grumpy in the mornings, instead of a heated remark. It’s forgiving accidents, not getting angry. It is in baking your husbands favorite cookies as a surprise, when that could be the highlight of a bad day. It is in knowing what God want’s us to do, as best we can, in each situation by learning His Word. It’s being a living example to our husband’s and our families, that will encourage them. We have the power to potentially change our husband’s day, his week or his year and make it brighter by behaving like Christ, and by living out the Fruit of The Spirit.

I invite all women to join me, to dive into God’s Word with me over the next weeks, as we work on one fruit per week, and practice it in our home. I initially planned this challenge for myself, but I figured others may want to join in. (And I was supposed to start the first fruit this week but found myself busy and forgetful!) So this is your invitation! Christian women, come join in! Or if you don’t know Christ, I welcome you as well, as by learning the fruits of The Spirit, you will learn who God is, and who Jesus is, and He is beautiful.

2:00PM Thoughts

I opened my Bible and realised it's been over 10 years since I got it.

On October 8, 2013, after expressing my desire for a Study Bible, I received one by my Tumblr friend, @christianhomemaker.

Thank you again for this gift, I will forever treasure it. May the Lord continue to bless you.
