May 2025 Growing From Within: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit ~ Week 5
Hello, wonderful family!
Can you believe we’re already in the last three days of our Embrace the Word study, “Growing From Within: Cultivating the Fruit of the Spirit”? It’s been such a joy walking this journey with you! Let’s Finish Strong!
(Link to the FREE Devotional Guide at the end of this email)
Over the past weeks, we’ve explored how walking in the Spirit helps us grow in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness—and now, we’re focusing on self-control.
Each week, we explored what it truly means to walk in the Spirit—living daily in step with the Holy Spirit’s guidance, surrendering our will, and allowing Him to direct our thoughts, feelings, actions, and decisions. This set the tone for everything that followed in our study, reminding us that the Holy Spirit is the one who helps us cultivate God’s character in our lives.
Self-control is our focus for these final three days. In our study, we will see how vital self-control is for believers. Having restraint and the ability to resist temptation will help us live lives that truly honor God!
Thank you so much for your heart and commitment to growing from within. Your willingness to learn, reflect, and share has made this study truly special. Keep inviting the Holy Spirit to guide you, trusting that as you walk in step with Him, your life will bear lasting fruit.
Watch your emails because next month’s Embrace the Word study is coming soon—and you won’t want to miss it!
