How are you? Last week I did not do our fruit of the week because of Thanksgiving but have no fear... it is back this week! Do you girls remember what fruit we are doing this week? Let's look at the verse:
"And the fruits of the Spirit are
love,
joy,
peace,
patience,
kindness,
goodness,
faithfulness,
gentleness,
self-control;
against such things there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23
We have done love, joy, peace, patience, and kindness so now it is time to study goodness! What does it mean to be good? Do you think it means to behave? Or to do well on tests? Or to do a good job? Well guess what?! God tells us exactly what it is to be good in the Bible!
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8
According to this God wants us to be good by doing justice, loving kindness, and walking with Him! So what does it mean to do justice? It means to do the right thing! God wants us to strive to do right! We talked about kindness two weeks ago so your girls are experts at that! Lastly, God wants us to walk with Him. He knows when our hearts are His. When we are truly following God we will start to look more and more like Him. Do you know what that means? It means we will do the right thing, love people, and be kind to people more often because that is how He is! Pretty cool how God ties all that together isn't it?!
Let's all work on our goodness! I want to challenge you girls this week to try to do the right things this week. Like when your parents ask you to do something do it the first time! Keep up being kind to people, I know you are awesome at this already! Always strive to be walking with God and one of the best ways to do that is to read His word, the Bible!
I miss you all sooooooo much!
