Day 4: Love Is Action
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
Reflection: Love isn’t just a sentiment, it’s an action, evidenced by the fruit of the Spirit. If you’re filled with God’s Spirit, these attributes, starting with love, should be visible in your life. Love is the key fruit that unlocks the rest, manifesting in our actions and choices every day.
Illustration: Imagine a tree full of ripe fruit. You wouldn’t need to be told that it’s a healthy tree; the fruit would show it. Similarly, a life filled with the Spirit will naturally bear good fruit.
Prayer: Holy Spirit, fill me so that I bear the fruit of love in my life. May my actions demonstrate that I am rooted in the love of Christ. Amen.
