More Than Inspired

We attended the memorial service for a relative today. Dorothy was one of those ladies who was inspiring in life but, in death, even more so. I left her funeral today feeling that, yes, I am inspired to be that "virtuous woman" we heard about but that I need to be MORE than just inspired! I need to put that inspiration into action and get results. We heard that Dorothy wasn't the way she was because of being around perfect people all the time or always having the perfect circumstances or situations. On the contrary, she had a life with many ups and downs, as we all know. But, the reason she was the person she was, could be attributed to her allowing God to work in her. And, that is why the fruits of the Spirit were so evident in her life. Being inspired is one thing, putting it into action will require help.
"And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5: 22, 23
