“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law” (Galatians 5:22-23).
Often times a heart problem can be remedied with a minimal surgical procedure. It involves removing whatever is blocking the heart from operating properly. In worst cases, doctor’s perform open heart surgery. Once anything bad is removed, patients must follow a doctor’s orders to prevent this from happening again. He will advise good things to help strengthen the heart.
As our writer aptly stated, “If these spiritual traits are not growing in our lives, then chances are, we have a problem.” If God were to do open heart surgery on you, what would He find? Would there be room to fill your heart with the beneficial things mentioned in today’s Scripture?
