I heard on the news today that Heath Ledger died today. That is very sad to hear on for many reasons, one of them reminds me that our time is never guaranteed. I don't know exactly what happened to him but I think we all need to be on alert that our next breath we could be standing face to face with Jesus. The Bible tells us the moment we die that we will be with Him. That can help in the matter of seconds. It doesn't matter if you are rich or famous or well liked life is fragile and can be taken at any time. Don't wait for tomorrow but take every chance today to live it for God
Gal. 5:16-26
I love verse 22 that talks about the fruit of the Spirit. Notice that it isn't the fruit of Dan or the fruit of Joe but it is the fruit of the Spirit. So when we are living like the Spirit or close to God then these attributes come out and are visible towards everyone else that sees us. They can tell we are an apple tree by our fruit. They will telll we are believers in God by the fruit we display.

Ah,
the Fruit of the Spirit !!!
What an awesome thing to read about !
My favorite verses from this section are 16-18.
They're pretty interesting to read about since it's talking about contrast. - I also like the part when it says '' If you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law''. That's pretty cool in my opinion!
Yet, we all struggle with verses 19-21 ( the sinful natures ). I struggle with sinful nature on a day to day bases - we all do.
The ones I need work on are probably : Selfish Ambition and envy/jealousy.
-- we all need work on something in our life, which is why we should pray to God for help with them.
Again, prayer is a powerful tool, and I encourage all of you to use it. - I use it everyday, and I definitely believe God hears me!
Oh,
I to am saddened about the death of Heath Ledger. It was sad and tragic.
Like Pd said, you never know when your life will end.
That's why you need to live your life for God, because you never know when you will be face to face with him.
Thanks Laney for what you are learning it is helpful for us all to read and encouraging. Keep it up!!!
