Day 9 Love

Day 9- Love

Today we start our journey into the fruit of the spirit (Galatians 5:22). Over the next eight days we will immerse ourselves in this verse and pray that our son(s) can be filled with these things.

Right now, let’s focus on love. As a society, we’ve again taken a word that has so much importance and somehow lessened that meaning. We love cars, tv shows, food and more. But the Bible says God is love. If there is no definition for love apart from God…there is no real love apart from God.

Teaching our son(s) about love may require a change in our own vocabulary. So in our prayers today we may need to pray that the Lord opens our eyes to His love. And then, once we know the real definition for love, we can be filled up of it…hopefully to overflowing.

I pray for each of us as mother’s as go through this process. And I pray our son(s) can also be filled of the love of God.

Did any of the verses jump out today to you? Do you have any specific requests or concerns you’d like to share with the group? Please leave a comment and check in with the group. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to email me (using the button on the side).

Let us pray….

One thing that kind of stuck out to me was 1 Peter 1:22. I'm an only child so being a parent to siblings is totally foreign, well, not that having siblings would have made parenting easier but at least I'd understand the whole sibling thing a little better. Does that make sense? Anyway, it's been my prayer for awhile that my children would really grow up loving each other, that they would a be best of friends and that God would give me the wisdom to know how to nurture that bond.

The Fruits of the Spirit is one of those verses that you read a lot, memorize, and talk a lot about, at least it was for me growing up in the church. However, just like this and John 3:16 we know it but do we really get what the verse is saying and do we really make it applicable to our daily lives? Now we get to take this a step further and teach it, live it, and immerse it into our son's lives. What a powerful verse that we as Christians need to live, breathe, talk, breathe, read, etc. every single moment of our lives.
However, if you are like me, as a mom we are stressed, tired, anxious, worried, etc, etc, these characteristics often do not pour out from my heart. So not only will I be praying this for my son to live this, I will be praying God changes my attitude and my heart.

I love praying for the fruits of the spirit for my boys. {And me!} It's actually one of my self-labeled life verses.
