Gentle Power (Pastor Vann Trapp)

If you were to think of the greatest gift God could give in this life, what would it be? (Something in this life, not just the life to come.) Would it be some amazing healing? Or a miraculous provision to pay off some huge bill you have? Maybe an opportunity in your career or to travel or in a relationship you are pursuing? But how would all those compare to simply having an overflowing joy in your life? Or peace in your mind and heart? What about patience and self-control? Isn’t it interesting that God tells us that the way we know that He is alive in us through His Holy Spirit is that we will see these “simple” fruit in our lives. Not all the big, flashy “gifts” we might think of first. But aren’t these fruits of the Spirit the things we are truly seeking in our lives?
