September 15 Devotion - Part 5 The Fruit of The Spirit - Gentleness (Meekness) and Self-Control

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
واما ثمر الروح فهو محبة فرح سلام طول اناة لطف صلاح ايمان
وداعة تعفف.
Galatians 5:22–23

Gentleness (Meekness) is love as an expression of humility, considering the needs and hurts of others before one's personal goals.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2
*                Self-control is love to be Spirit led so as not to indulge our sinful nature

  Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control
Proverbs 25:28


I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. I praise You and glorify You.
O gracious and merciful God, fill my heart with the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. LORD, I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing others in love and apply self-control. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour to whom be the power, the glory the majesty, the blessings, and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,

Wagdi Henein
