Fruit Of The Spirit

I CHOOSE LOVE.
 No occasion justifies hatred,
 no injustice warrants bitterness.
I choose love. Today I will love God
 and what God loves.

I CHOOSE JOY.
I will invite my God to be
the God of circumstance.
I will refuse to see any problem as anything
 less than an opportunity to see God.



I CHOOSE PEACE.
I will live forgiven.
 I will forgive so that I may live.

I CHOOSE PATIENCE.
 I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.
 Rather than complain that the wait is too long,
 I will thank God for a moment to pray.



I CHOOSE KINDNESS.
I will be kind to the unkind,
for such is how God treated me.

I CHOOSE GOODNESS.
I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one.
I will be overlooked before I boast.
I will confess before I accuse.

I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS.
 Today I will keep my promises.
My debtors will not regret their trust.
 My associates will not question my word.
My wife/husband will not question my love.
And my children will never fear that
their father will not come home.



I CHOOSE GENTLENESS.
Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle.
 If I raise my voice, may it only be in praise.
If I make a demand, may it only be of myself.

I CHOOSE SELF-CONTROL.
I am a spiritual being.
After this body is dead, my spirit will soar.
I refuse to let what will rot rule the eternal.
I will be drunk only by joy.
I will be impassioned only by my faith.
I will be influenced only by God.
I will be taught only by Christ.
I choose self-control.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self--control.
To these, I commit my day.
If I succeed, I will give thanks.
 If I fail, I will seek His grace.
And then, when this day is done,
I will place my head on my pillow and rest.
