Alright. Thank you very much and hello again, radio friends. How in the world are you? Are you doing all right? Well, I’m fine. Thank you, nice of you to ask. I’m feeing great. The old man said I got up and looked in the obituary column, my name wasn’t there, I felt pretty good and went back to bed. Well, I didn’t do that. I get up early and stay up. When I’m up, I’m done for the day so far is sleeping is concerned. I guess lots of you are the same way, aren’t you?

Oh, it’s nice to be back with you. The miles drop away and I feel as though I were sitting beside you there at the kitchen table or riding alongside of you as you go to work or school. Whatever it is it’s great to be together, isn’t it? Though it sounded far, by fate we meet around one common mercy seat. The togetherness of Christians doesn’t depend on miles. It depends on a wonderful person, the Holy Spirit of God who indwells the believer. And it depends on the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. And that’s what we share as we get together for this few moments.

And we’ve been looking at 2 Peter where he said, “Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these promises ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust,” and we stopped then on this idea of the divine nature. What does that mean? And one of the things that comes close to it is the description we find in Galatians 5:22-23 which is called the fruit of the Spirit. The result of the Holy Spirit of God, now the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity is just as much God as God the Father or God the Son, has all the attributes given to either one of them, look up in your Bible, in your topical textbook or your concordance, you will find that so.

And so, the fruit of the Spirit, the result of the Holy Spirit working in your life can very well be then for us, a profile of what God himself is like. So we went on through these words “love, joy, peace” and we’ve come down to this word “longsuffering.” The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering. It’s a Greek word “makrothumia,” or large heartedness, room in your heart. Longsuffering simply doesn’t mean only putting up with people, it means making room for people, as they are warts and all.
