Flourishing Forgiveness: within the Fruit of the Spirit Garden Aleda J Marshall 1st edition

FLOURISHING FORGIVENESS within the Fruit of the Spirit Garden. Yes, the thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy our LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING (PATIENCE), GENTLENESS (KINDNESS), GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS (GENTLENESS), TEMPERANCE (SELF-CONTROL). But Jesus came in order that we might have eternal life and that our eternal Fruit of the Spirit gardens' harvests will be abounding with FLOURISHING FORGIVENESS, and abundant fruit. Through our receipt of, and our giving of FORGIVENESS, our obedience, and the Word of God fortified within our minds, the Holy Spirit, through His painstakingly patient nurture, is able to cultivate within each of us a bountiful harvest of each of His nine Fruits of the Spirit. His ultimate purpose for our lives is to not only create a desire within each of us to LOVE Him and receive His overflowing abundant AGAPE LOVE, but the Spirit of God also requires that each of us reflect that same LOVE to the lost and dying world around us. This is accomplished not only in our receiving FORGIVENESS provided through Jesus' shed blood at the cross, but also by our giving FORGIVENESS; FORGIVING not only ourselves, but those around us; FLOURISHING FORGIVENESS within the Fruit of the Spirit Garden
