Keeping In Step

 

The day started out at full speed,
And then sped up from there.
Soon, step by step, I found myself
With less patience to share.
 
I reached out to my source of peace,
Of patience in distress,
And asked that He would fill me with
His spirit of stillness.
 
I heard a whisper touch my thoughts,
And fill me with His peace.
As it washed through my heart and mind,
I felt my tempest cease.
 
He sent His Spirit to lead us
And fill us with His grace
That we might be His hands and feet,
And His loving embrace.
 
His peace, patience and gentleness
Should be what we each share
With those who walk through life with us,
Who need to know He’s there.
 
If you can’t find yours, ask for His,
With joy, He’ll pass it on.
You’ll find you have more than you need,
Even though yours is gone.
 
Galatians 5:25
If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
 
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
