Are we using the tools in God’s toolbox?
So, what exactly are the tools in God’s toolbox? Well, one could consider the fruits of the Holy Spirit as God’s tools. The use of these tools shows the existence of God to humanity. What are these tools/fruits of the Holy Spirit? Galatians 5:22-23 states the following: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control….”
Note 2 self: No one ever said that mastering these tools would be easy, but with continuous effort and prayer we do it. As Christians, we are God’s representatives on earth. We are to be Christ-like. The fruits of the Spirit are the virtues of God. When we exhibit these fruits, people can see God through us, and many will want to know Him as a result of what they see in us.
So to the question, are we using the tools in God’s toolbox? If we are not using the fruits of the Holy Spirit daily, then the answer is no. If using all the tools every day proves to be a bit of a challenge, then use at least one tool every day until eventually, we master them all. Remember, when people see the fruits the Holy Spirit in us; they will see God.
Blessings to you all, my friends.
