Wisdom From Heaven #8 - FULL OF GOOD FRUIT
This is the eighth post in the series called "Wisdom from Heaven". In this series we will be studying James chapter 3, which details how to put heavenly wisdom into practice in our everyday lives.
Today we are focusing on being FULL OF GOOD FRUIT from heaven.
By "fruit" we are talking about our godly characteristics that are shown through our actions - this is called "The Fruit of the Spirit." (see verses below)
A few years ago I did a series on The Fruit of the Spirit. Below each characteristic there is a link to the post that will discuss each characteristic in more detail (please feel free to click on each link)
True love is void of fear - Where there is love, no fear can exist. When fear is present then trust will never be possible.

This JOY is a deep happiness that comes from a personal relationship with God - including a sense of us fulfilling His will.

Tranquility of the heart and spiritual harmony is based on forgiveness through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We are at peace when our conscience is clear......when we know that we have been forgiven.

Jesus is the ultimate example of kindness.

Our gentleness comes from within - from the Holy Spirit - let's make sure that we draw from that on a daily basis so that Jesus' love will shine through our actions and our words.

Living a life full of good fruit does not happen overnight. Implementing Wisdom from Heaven (and specifically Good Fruit) is worth the long term effort.
