Pensamento:
Quando o Espírito está vivo nos nossos corações, o caráter de Deus se torna vivo nas nossas vidas, à medida que o Espírito trabalha para nos conformar mais e mais à imagem e caráter de Cristo (2 Coríntios 3:18).
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
When the Holy Spirit is alive in our hearts, the character of God comes to life in us as the Spirit conforms us and transforms us with ever-increasing glory to become like Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 3:17-18). This transformation occurs as we focus on Jesus and pursue knowing him, following his example, and living daily for him. This transformation is the goal of our lives as a disciple of Jesus, a genuine follower of Jesus (Colossians 1:28-29; Luke 6:40). As we become more and more like Jesus, we display his character, these nine qualities that are the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Oração:
Obrigado, querido Pai, por seu Espírito dentro de mim. Entrego a minha vontade e meu coração conscientemente ao controle transformador do seu Espírito na minha vida. Por favor, produza em mim o fruto que agrada e traz glória ao Senhor. No nome de Jesus eu oro. Amém. || Veja a imagem: http://www.iluminalma.com/img/il_galatas5_22.html
My Prayer...
Thank you, dear Father, for your Spirit within me. I consciously and intentionally yield my will and heart to your Spirit's transforming work. Please produce the fruit you desire in me — the fruit that pleases you reflects your character and brings you glory. I ask for this grace in the authority of Jesus' name. Amen.
