These past two weeks I have shared with you what Paul tells the Philippians (and us) not to say and then that he reminds us that we are to be a light in the darkness displaying the attributes of Christ.
But how do we do that? What is the key?
Well . . . shocker . . . it has nothing to do with our abilities.
Rather it has everything to do with our surrender. And this reminded me of a hymn I loved to sing growing up . . . probably because I didn’t fully understand the weight of the words. But the message is clear. To live a life reflecting the attributes of Christ—the fruit of the Holy Spirit—requires total surrender and constant communion with Jesus.
I hope the words inspire you as much as they did me.
