… the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.

“We Call Out to You” Community of Christ Sings 299

We call out to you with our hands open wide;
grant us the wisdom our heart can provide.
The breeze, flowers, the sunshine too,
all of creation singing praise to you:

a song of proclamation to end discrimination;
each voice is heard, sung in chorus to you;
a song in every nation declaring jubilation.
Blessed are the poor in the kingdom of God.

And when the morning wakes us we celebrate the wonder,
and when the evening shakes us such storms won’t pull us under
because we live in your great mystery.

Prayer Phrase

“In his hand is the life of every living thing” (Job 12:10).

Trees

Watch the trees outside your window for a few moments. Close your eyes and meditate on Alma’s words about seeds and trees. If you were to plant and grow the Word of God in your heart, what tree might symbolically represent this process? Imagine a seed as it grows into a tree of life and blessing. Ask God to show you how to begin (see Alma 16:152–173).
