The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.

واما ثمر الروح فهو محبة فرح سلام طول اناة لطف صلاح ايمان

وداعة تعفف.

Galatians 5:22–23

 

 

Goodness is love choosing to do what is right … in God’s eyes.

 

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power

مِنْ أجلِ هَذا نُصَلِّي لأجلِكُمْ دائِماً، طالِبِينَ مِنْ إلَهِنا أنْ يَجعَلَكُمْ مُستَحِقِّينَ لِلحَياةِ الَّتِي دَعاكُمْ إلَيها، وَأنَّ يُحَقِّقَ بِقُدرَتِهِ كُلَّ نَواياكُمِ الصّالِحَةِ وَكُلِّ عَمَلٍ نابِعٍ مِنْ إيمانِكُمْ.

 

2 Thessalonians 1:11

 

For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth

فَإِنَّ ثَمَرَ النُّورِ يَكُونُ فِي كُلِّ صَلاحٍ وَاسْتِقَامَةٍ وَحَقٍّ.

 

Ephesians 5:9

 

Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 إِنَّمَا خَيْرٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ يَتْبَعَانِنِي طَوَالَ حَيَاتِي، وَيَكُونُ بَيْتُ الرَّبِّ مَسْكَناً لِي مَدَى الأَيَّامِ.

Psalm 23:6

 

 

Faithfulness (faith) is love in keeping commitments in relationships. Only The Holy Spirit can produce the quality of loyalty no matter the cost.

 

Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago.

يَا رَبُّ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي، أُعَظِّمُكَ وَأَحْمَدُ اسْمَكَ لأَنَّكَ صَنَعْتَ عَجَائِبَ كُنْتُ قَد قَضَيْتَ بِها مُنْذُ الْقِدَمِ، وَهِيَ حَقٌّ وَصِدْقٌ.

 

Isaiah 25:1

 

The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.
²³ They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

مِنْ إِحْسَانَاتِ الرَّبِّ أَنَّنَا لَمْ نَفْنَ، لأَنَّ مَرَاحِمَهُ لَا تَزُولُ. 23 تَتَجَدَّدُ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ. فَائِقَةٌ أَمَانَتُكَ.

Lamentations 3:22-23

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

O’ gracious and merciful God, fill my heart with the fruit of Your Holy Spirit. Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your everlasting, inseparable, and deep love for me. God please count me worthy of this devotion ministry calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of Your goodness, and the work of faith with power. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I always exalt You Lord, and praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things for me. Your counsels to me have always been faithful and true. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus my Lord and Saviour to whom be power and glory forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.

 

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
