What I hope to convey in this three-part series of writings, based on Paul’s “fruits of the spirit” (Galatians 5:22), is how the Holy Spirit’s presence anoints and therefore changes everything, opening us to unconventional and “unworldly” ways of responding to whatever comes our way today.
This fear-filled life is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s love.
This agonizing moment is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s joy.
This conflict of wills is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s peace.
This resolution-defying situation is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s patience.
This cesspool of wrongdoing is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s kindness.
This scarcity mentality is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s generosity.
This boiling cauldron of doubt is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s faithfulness.
This jostling with injustice is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s gentleness.
This addiction to freedom is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s self-control.
