#soap # Galatians 05 ## Title: God Grows What We Truly Need ## Scripture: (Galatians 5:22-23) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (NET) ## Observation: If you think about it, why do we want good things? Why do we want a bigger house, a better car, a bigger salary, and all sorts of other nice things? What is behind those things? It’s the desire to be secure, the desire to have joy, to give and receive love, and to finally be content with life. All these things are the attributes that grow in us through a relationship with the Holy Spirit. All the Lord longs for, God wants to grow in us. ## Application: Spend time with God daily and watch the fruit grow in your life. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for knowing what we truly need.
