At All Times

The fruit of the Spirit cannot be faked or forced. These qualities and characteristics come onlyfrom the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. John 15 reminds us that if we remain in Jesus then we willbear much fruit. In this same passage, Jesus shares with us that remaining in him will also makeour joy complete. It is refreshing and encouraging to know that not only is the Father is deeplyconcerned with our joy, but that he has made a way for us to experience it. Regardless of ourcircumstantial position, a Jesus-fixed perspective will bring true joy.
