The Fruit of the Spirit is.......Faithfulness (Gal. 5:22)


We were challenged last week in our mother/daughter Bible study on the traits of a faithful woman. Here is what Elizabeth George says in her book, A Young Woman's Walk With God:
The marks of faithfulness-
~She follows through.....on what she has to do.
~She comes through.....no matter what.
~She delivers the goods.....whether a returned item or a school paper.
~She shows up.....even early so others won't worry.
~She keeps her word.....her yes means yes and her no means no (James 5:12).
~She keeps her commitments and appointments......you won't find her canceling.
~She successfully transacts business......carrying out any instructions given to her.
~She is regular at church.....and doesn't neglect worship.
~She is devoted to duty......just as Jesus was when He came to do His Father's will (John 4:34).
What faithful, productive women of God we would be if we cultivated this fruit of the the spirit.
