For the Faith of Abraham and the relationship with us.

 

[Alive again]

For JOY, the Fruit of the Spirit, and unchangeable truth, a state of being even when the trails of depression leach away happiness in my life, that JOY remains in my soul!!!

The Joy of my Salvation
The Joy of my future hope in heaven
The Joy of a direct communication with God thru prayer
The Joy of knowing I am loved even when I feel unloveable
The Joy of knowing I was created and am here for a reason even when reason fails me.
The list is goes on. . .

The Fruit of the Spirit Peace

Peace in the midst of depression or mania
Peace in the midst of the storm
Peace in the midst of stress
Peace in the midst of trials

Peace, Joy , Love, Long suffering, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Self Control. These are the Fruits of the Spirit-these are our gifts that this illness called bp helps us to see so clearly in our lives. Against these are no laws. Look carefully for them in your lives and you will find them. But look for them as states of being (like peace in the storm) not as feelings which are fleeting and deceptive. This is how you can know joy when feeling depressed, or gentleness when feeling so angry you want to kill someone. Focus on the gift of the Spirit and the feelings will lose focus. They are still ther, But the Spirit of God-God Himslef has focus and allows you to go on despite the feelings and circumstances of life. We all know this well in terms of peace admist the storm. Spend some time thinking about and expanding it to Joy in the midst of depression and then go on form there.

So I am thankful for the Fruits of the Spirit in my life, for without them I could never stand firm in my faith admist this illness called bp.
