Encounter: Grab your Bible or open the Bible online (I like biblegateway.com), and turn to Galatians 5. Listen in on this week's Renew podcast below.
Reflect: In what ways do you relate to God best, perhaps through reflective journaling, taking a hike through creation, reading through the Bible, prayer? What is it about these ways of relating to God that helps you focus on God?
Encourage: The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. As you soak in the Spirit's presence in your relational activities with God, how is God filling you to overflowing with the fruit of the Spirit? Do you sense God inviting you to a specific action towards a family member, friend, coworker, or neighbor? If so, what is it?
Gather: Who is in your immediate circle today? How might you be able to serve them in love as Paul writes in Galatians 5:13-14?
