Galatians 5:22-23

Jeremiah 18:6
Before God entrusts great tasks, He trains His servants in small ones. From Joseph to Elisha, each endured hidden seasons of testing, learning faithfulness, humility, and trust. These “lessons in God’s school” still prepare us today for the work He desires to do through us.
Luke 16:10; Genesis 39:9,18; Acts 7:22

Galatians 5:22-23; John 14:27; Mark 4:37-38

True joy isn’t tied to circumstances—it’s rooted in Christ. In this reflection on the fruit of the Spirit, we see how the Lord Jesus Himself lived a life of deep, enduring joy. And as His followers, we’re called to reflect that same joy—radiant, unshakable, and real.
