A Prayer for Consistency of Character by Meg Buker, read by Liam Arton.

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

gentleness, and self-control.

Galatians 5-22-23 Do you ever catch yourself acting differently

around one person than you do with another?

Some people share our passion for Jesus, but do we talk about them with as much gusto around

those who may be uncomfortable or unfamiliar with them?

What makes us shapeshift like this to fit ourselves to what we deem as acceptable behavior

around specific people, instead of adopting a consistency of character around everyone?

Honesty includes consistency of character.

Paul wrote to the Galatians about the fruit of the Spirit and to the Ephesians about the

armor of God.

Honesty of character results in a humble submission of our lives to Christ.

In putting on the armor of God daily, we get to experience the fruit of the Spirit flowing

through us in Christ.

Ephesians 6-10-11 says, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Each day we wake to live carries a divine purpose, but we can miss it if we neglect to

let go and let God.

As Christ's followers, we get to pray on His armor, experience His fruit, and participate

in His kingdom where God's family, Christ, calls us His friends.

The Spirit of God lives in every Christ follower.
