Internally received & externally expressed // 02.12

"God's character is expressed in His works. What He does emanates from His personality. He expects the same of us—our faith will result in works. The fruit of the Spirit is not just internally received but externally expressed. God meets us in the deep, inward spaces, but He always leads us outward. His Spirit does not invade our being to remain hidden. We are the display of His glory, not its best-kept secret."

What am I doing on a daily basis that expresses that God lives within me? It seems too little to be of importance. There are moments of volunteering, but far too few moments of daily affirmation and love for those around me.

Dear God,
Please use me. Fill me with your Spirit and show me how to live every day. Help me to love more, to think of you more, to express your will and desire through me. Help my expressions to be worthy of You.
Amen.
