Galatians/Ephesians

It is easy to know when we are following the spirit.

Galatians 5:
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

We all too often torture ourselves as to whether or not we are truly following the Spirit. We doubt if we truly are doing the Lord's will and fulfilling the great plans he has for us in this life. I love this particular scripture because it shows us what we can expect to find when we are living by the spirit. We can expect our lives to be filled with love, joy, and primarily PEACE. We may go through hard times, but if we can sit down at the end of the day and feel at peace with our Maker, then we will know we are living by the Spirit.

Said President Monson "Let us ask ourselves the questions: “Have I done any good in the world today? Have I helped anyone in need?” What a formula for happiness! What a prescription for contentment, for inner peace—to have inspired gratitude in another human being." (Thomas S. Monson, “May We So Live,” Ensign, Aug 2008, 4–9)

Q: When do I feel most at peace with myself?
