FORGIVENESS, AN ACT OF COMMENDATION
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" -Romans 5:8
------------------------------
When mankind sinned against God, they were afraid to approach God to ask for forgiveness - either because of God's status, or due to shame and embarrassment - because the act of offence is not expected from the person who offended.
God therefore, seeing that it could lead to our destruction, does not wait for mankind to approach Him; He sent Jesus Christ to die to atone for man's sin so that mankind would approach God without fear or any sense of guilt.
What God did is an act of true love which deserves to be commended.
Today, when people confess and seek forgiveness from us, that is when we take it against them, and use them as case study. This is not how to show love.
God therefore expects us to appreciate His show of love, by going ahead to forgive others who offend us, not to wait for them to come seek forgiveness from us. (They may be afraid, ashamed or ignorant...).
The moment you forgive first, others will feel true love and will do the needful.
Receive the grace, in Jesus gracious name!

SPIRITUAL FRUIT
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith" -Galatians 5:22
-------------------------------
Elohim created living things to produce fruit to glorify Him and also be of benefit to other creations of His.
When the Holy Spirit comes into the heart of the born again Christian, He expects him to bear the fruit of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, to glorify Him and be of benefit to humanity.
When people have tasted the fruit of the Holy Spirit borne by the child of God, they give glory and testimony to the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The child of God who bears this fruit is promoted and given grace to move from glory to glory.
Receive the grace to manifest the fruits of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus gracious name! Hallelujah!!
