The Christian life is not meant to be lived in striving, exhaustion, or constant lack. It is meant to be marked by freedom, abundance, and fruitfulness through the power of the Holy Spirit. All too often, we talk about the gifts of the Spirit—prophecy, tongues, healing, and miracles—while neglecting the fruit of the Spirit. Yet […]
