(Maryland)

Teresa's response to lesson 2 of our study on the Fruits of the Spirit.

(1)Why do you think that it is significant that Jesus uses the action verb Agapao to describe the kind of love that the Holy Spirit wants to develop inside of you?
Unconditional, no matter what you do,who you are, how many times, He Loves you always, he cares, he takes care of you, he keeps you.


(2) Why do you think God tells you that His joy is what acts as your strength during trying times? Can you think of a time when His joy kept you strong?
Just knowing How God does Love me, and woke me up, putting a roof over my head, keeping my sanity though I am truly going through financially is the only thing that providing me Joy. Totally keeps me strong.

(3) Why do you think so many Christians today struggle with receiving and maintaining God's peace? Do you feel that you have a problem maintaining your peace?
Being a Human makes it very hard to maintain peace especially in this trying time. I feel as that is the hardest and most direct attact of the enemy, our peace. Through constant praying and reading of the word, worship and praise we truly keep our peace in check
