What I hope to convey in this three-part series based on Paul’s “fruit of the spirit” (Galatians 5:22) is that the Holy Spirit anoints absolutely every life experience with its ubiquitous presence and power--opening in us an array of responses that are un-conventional and “un-worldly”--yet readily available. This is the purpose of the Holy Spirit...in real time.
This unthinkable tragedy is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s love.
This ego-humbling experience is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s joy.
This irascible relationship is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s peace.
This chasm of despair is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s patience.
This anger-invoking encounter is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s kindness.
This thimbleful of initiative is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s generosity.
This intractable illness is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s faithfulness.
This humiliating failure is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s gentleness.
This wellspring of wellbeing is anointed with the Holy Spirit’s self-control.
