GSW: The fruit of the spirit is the evidence of the new life. As simple as this is, the Lord just taught me a few hours ago as I was praying. I got a case. I know this lady who always bad mouths people even when she has no need to do so. I had spoken to her once before and encouraged her to stop that unbefitting behavior. Months later I got a report she had started doing it again. It hurt my heart a bit. I felt “this is a Christian” Why can’t she not behave like this. Then it occurred to me…She was still who she was. She is not who she should be.
