But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law…

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control….

If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. (Galatians 5:18, 22–23, 25)

I was just thinking today how glad that I don’t simply follow a list of laws, but the Spirit of the living God.

A list of laws has no mercy or compassion for my weakness. It doesn’t care a lick for me.

But the Spirit does.

I must admit, I find it hard to relate to the Spirit in the same way that I do to the Father and Jesus.

Somehow, he seems less personal.

And yet if the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control, doesn’t that describe his character and attitude toward me?

So that’s what I’m thinking on today. And as I do, through all my sorrows and struggles, I’m praying to the Father,

Let your good Spirit lead me on level ground. (Psalm 143:10, ESV)
