VERSE:
Galatians 5:22-23
22 God's Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, 23 gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways.
LESSON:
This is what I want to be like "when I grow up". Unfortunately, most of us grow up in age, and in height (and most of us in weight), but we don't fully grow up "in Spirit". This verse calls us to allow "God's Spirit..." to make us into the type of person that God wants us to be. What type of person? Loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, gentle, and self-controlled. Boy...I would like to be able to demonstrate just a few of these qualities on any given day. How about you? What do you want to be like when you grow up?
