the fruit of the Spirit page 8 by ric Gustafson


Amy stood near the back entrance of the sanctuary. She had on dark sunglasses to shield her eyes from the hot noon day sun.
Her friend Elaine walked out. " Hi Amy". She smiled. " Have you been waiting long?".
" No".
They began walking toward Elaine's blue Mazda.
" I was helping the worship team at the 11:00 service". She unlocked the door. " I really enjoy helping out".
They got in and buckled their seatbelts.
" That's good" Amy replied. " Faithfulness is one of the fruits of the Spirit".
" It is".
" God loves what you do for him and his Kingdom". She smiled. " And he blesses your efforts".
" How is that Amy?" she replied as she drove out of the church parking lot.
" When you serve him faithfully". Her voice hesitated. " You are helping with God's plan for salvation".
" And what is that plan?".
" That souls of men will be saved and not perish".
