- Wrapup:
- Fruity Goals: Bored? Need direction? Need a goal? Pratice fruit! Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, faithfulness, Gentlness, Self-Control. Sounds silly to Practice fruit. But do it. Pick one today, add a little focus to your goal. Write it on your hand. Write it on a sticky. Nudge yourself in that direction today. Put effort into that thing. Be intentional about it. Go outside your comfort zone. The reality is that it is difficult and you will fail if it’s just you trying. So before you start on your chosen fruit of the day, ask God to nudge you in that direction. Ask Him to fill you with more of it today. Ask Him for help in exercising that new muscle. You are His and He is yours. Partner with God and His Holy Spirit today in practicing fruit. At the end of the day – review your Fruity Goal. How was your nudging? How did God do as a partner? Share how it went with someone or write it down. Now repeat that every day. 🙂
- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who [a]belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
- But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity. We develop a willingness to stick with things, a sense of compassion in the heart, and a conviction that a basic holiness permeates things and people. We find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, not needing to force our way in life, able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.

Some words were spoken about honoring others in your life.
Honor says “Where do I position myself to bring the best out of you,” not “What do I expect you to do for me”.
“To show honor to someone is grace in action. Be excellent at handing out pockets of grace as people learn and grow, particularly when mistakes happen.”
“Honor is not about a person’s performance but their value in the image of God.”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about one of my best friends, best man at my wedding and fraternity brother who committed suicide almost 8 years ago. Christopher “Bull” Greenlief would have turned 39 this Saturday but due to mental health issues had his life end too soon. I encourage every HIM in this group to not ignore signs and symptoms of mental health and to seek treatment and/or advice from any fellow HIM. The National Suicide Prevention Hotline number is 1-800-273-8255. We should not think of ourselves as weak for seeking help with depression or anxiety. Just like someone with heart disease, cancer, or even a fracture there are options for treatment from many forms of mental health issues.
One view of suicide in regards to the bible is that some say suicide cannot be forgiven because the person who did it could not have repented of doing it. But all of us commit sins that we are too spiritually cloddish to recognize for the sins that they are. And we will die with sins not named and repented.
MOLESKIN:
If anyone needs someone to talk to and is feeling depressed or overwhelmed please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on slack, facebook or even text me (865) 384-6432.
