My grandma was such a nice person, at least
as long as I can remember, before she passed on. She wasn’t a perfect person
but was surely a sweetheart so much that her response to situations often
annoyed me because I didn’t know how to act like her. lolz
The past few weeks of my life has been quite
challenging but beautiful because I’m learning new things especially how to be
really nice. A few weeks ago I started studying Christian books and the Bible
on godly character and I’ve been Changed (I’m still a work in progress though).
What do I mean when I say sweetheart? I mean
Tender-hearted, kind, thoughtful, cheerful, generous, Patient, Understanding etc.
The above description is a mirror of how the
fruits of the spirit are manifested in our daily lives and dealings with
people. Do you know that the kind of
words that proceed out of your mouth and your disposition will either attract
people or repel them from you?
Being grumpy, unforgiving, harsh, demanding,
negative, quick tempered, a fault finder, gossip, judgmental (self gratifying
nature) is not the nature of Jesus.
It’s time for a change because the real test
of our heart for God is our desire to truly please Him, in words and in works. Do you want to change and become humble, kind,
gentle and meek like Jesus? Submit
yourself to the Lord and in humility ask Him to transform you into the image
and nature of Jesus.
Fruit
bearing does not come just from church attendance, prayer vigils, positive
confession or bible reading, it comes from abiding in the Lord and allowing Him
to abide in you. It is His divine presence that dissolves the hardness of your
soul so that sweet-swelling fragrances pour forth from you.
Grace!
