UNISON VERSUS HARMONY / Harmony

This is the 2nd of 7 devotions and music videos
with the theme from Galatians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 13:4
"The Fruit of the Spirit is Gentleness"
and
"Love is Kind"

UNISON VERSUS HARMONY
by
Rebecca

(Adapted from Romans 12:16; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

I have served as music minister for several churches through the years. There have been a few times when I had singers that could not harmonize. When everyone sings the same part, on the same notes together or on the same note an octave higher or lower, it is called unison. When everyone sings different parts on different notes in correct sequence it is called harmony. There are basically four parts soprano, alto, tenor and base. When you can accomplish having all four parts on a worship team you can achieve a greater beauty and you can enhance the worship. Paul is not referring to singing when he uses the word harmony to the Romans but the premise is the same. Living in harmony means that you embrace your differences and by doing so you achieve a greater beauty then if you were all just alike.

Live in harmony with one another;

do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive),

but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks.

Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits.

The fruit of the spirit is kindness. The root word of kindness is kin. A similar word that we use more often then kind is like. I like you. I like that. I dislike you or I dislike that. But love is kind. If I practice kindness, I will be looking for that which we agree on. If I am looking for things that we disagree on, I am saying, “You are not like me therefore I reject you.” To achieve harmony, I must not only be agreeable but I must also embrace the differences and by doing so we will achieve a greater beauty.

Father, You made every person a unique individual, fearfully and wonderfully made. I embrace the uniqueness of every individual and live in harmony to achieve a greater beauty for your glory.

Verse 1

When we sing in unison,

We will sing in the same key

Although we are different

We can bring one praise

You and me in harmony

We can bring one praise to the King of kings

TWO CORNERSTONES OF LOVE / Let Mercy

This is the 1^st of 7 devotions and music videos

with the theme from Galatians 5:22

and 1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love Is Kind”

And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Gentleness"

TWO CORNERSTONES OF LOVE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Proverbs 3:3-4 1 Corinthians 13:4, Galatians 5:22)

The two cornerstones of love are patience and kindness. These two qualities are the cornerstones of every other fruit of the Spirit. Love makes you kind and love makes you want to have patience. Patience avoids problems and issues. Kindness creates blessings. Kindness steps over the problem or the issue and creates a blessing instead.

We are instructed in Proverbs 3:4 to let kindness and truth not leave us for any reason. It actually tells us to bind kindness around our neck. This same scripture describes kindness as a way to find favor with people and with God! Kind people find favor with God! I don't know about you, but I need favor with God. So when I work on my love walk and I treat people with kindness, God takes notice. He gives me favor for my effort!
How can I be patient and kind today?

1. Give people permission to be human. Give people more time than they deserve to correct a wrong.
2. Name impatience every time it is displayed in your life. Impatience is little spurts of anger and it

flows out of our own selfishness.

3. Be gentle and tender with people. Speak truth in love and make it as easy to hear as possible.

4. Meet the needs of someone else every chance you get. Kindness is displayed in helpfulness.

5. Be agreeable. Instead of being obstinate, reluctant, or stubborn, be flexible and cooperative.

Kindness inspires you to be agreeable.

Father, I bind truth and kindness around my neck today. I will not let kindness leave me today. Thank you for turning things around for me and giving me your favor as I make this a priority. Patience and kindness are taking root in me. I am learning to avoid issues that are selfish on my part and I am learning to create blessings with kindness everywhere I go. You are the love of my life and every act of kindness I display flows from our love relationship. Your love inspires me to be kind and patient.

LOVE IS CONSIDERATE / Love Is Patient And So Am I / I Believe

This is the 6^th of 6 devotions and music videos
with the theme from Galatians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love Is Patient”
And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

LOVE IS CONSIDERATE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 Timothy 3:3)

During my husband's teenage years, he spent his summers traveling with an on the road bible school. The leaders of the youth group were ministers and college professors who donated their summers to train youth in ministry. While being trained to witness on the streets one day, He tells about meeting a Hindu family from India. He introduced himself and asked them if they had ever experienced Jesus coming into their hearts. They promptly informed him that they had their own religion. He was not offended nor did he feel confrontational. He showed interest in their statement by asking them about their religion. After they shared with him about their beliefs, he asked them, “Would you allow me share with you why I believe Jesus is the only way to God and to heaven?” They listened intently. I do not believe they would have listened to him if I had not shown interest in them and in their religion.

My Confession

I am not argumentative or confrontational. I am gentle and considerate. I am not quarrelsome but I am peaceful. I am not insistent that I am always right. I am developing a willingness to reason with others. I am learning not to force my opinion on others. I am not afraid of disapproval. I do not operate in fear. Being considerate promotes peace and I am a peacemaker. I do not violate the law of love.

Father, I interact with people all day. Some people don’t share the respect and honor that I have for You. But all people need you. I honor You today by being considerate and peaceable to all people. I respect You, Lord, with the words that come out of my mouth and with my opinions and thoughts. I respect people today by the way I communicate with them and by my actions. I want to communicate peace and love. I want people to feel Your love when they talk to me. Work this balance of boldness and being considerate in me so I can make
a difference to people who cross my path!

THE FACES OF PATIENCE / I'm Waiting

This is the 5th of 6 devotions and music videos

with the theme taken from
Galatians 5:22 and 1 Corinthians 13:4
The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Long suffering Patience
And
Love Is Patient

THE FACES OF PATIENCE
by
Rebecca Cooley
(James 1:4; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

Patience has two faces. Patience can be associated with mildness, temperance and humility in a person’s life. These attributes in one’s life are commendable but patience is also a powerful force that the enemy cannot stop. When patience and love are coupled together, it is an energy and strength directly from the heart of God that can move heaven and earth.

The ultimate example of patience is Jesus waiting on the Father to open the gates of heaven for His bride. This patient endurance is passing the test of time and one day the Father will say to His Son,

“Your patience has had its perfect work! Go and get your bride!” At that moment, patience and love will embrace with a force so tremendous that it will break the eastern skies, thunder will roll, lightening will crash and the bride will meet Jesus face to face!

We, the bride of Christ, have to patiently wait on the Father also. While we are waiting patiently on our Lord coming for us, our patience is a key to walking in love. Our display of patience with people can unlock the door to the Kingdom of God for them. It is a spiritual force that can also move heaven and earth in a man’s heart!

Father, I want You to say to me one day that my patience did a perfect work in someone’s life. I want You to be able to say that you moved a mountain for someone because of my patience unlocking the door of love and letting that person in. Thank you Lord for Your work of patience in me.

I’M WAITING

(James 1:4; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 5:22)

Verse:

How long must I wait?

As long as it takes

I’m not givin’ up before the break-through

It will not be late

The answer will come

Just on time for those who wait

Chorus:

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I see

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I hear

I’m waiting

I’m not moved by what I feel

I let patience have it’s perfect work in me

My faith is now renewed

Let patience have it’s perfect work in You

Bridge:

Thank you Lord for Your long-suffering

So many times

You waited and waited and waited for me

A WIN WIN SITUATION / Let Patience

Brought to you by our

Galatians 5:22 And 1 Corinthians 13:4

"Love Is Patient”

And

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

A WIN WIN SITUATION
by
Rebecca Cooley

(James 1:4; Romans 5:3; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Galatians 4:22)

There are virtues in my life that I would not have gained except by way of tribulation and difficulties. Some of the trials were major ordeals but most of the challenges I have incurred over the years were common everyday occurrences turned into challenges. It is how I chose to process the trials that turned them into virtues in my life.

James tells us that when our faith is tested, it is an opportunity for patience and endurance to grow in our hearts. As patience begins to grow in our hearts and in our personalities, it develops and becomes stronger. The ultimate goal is for a completeness and fullness to occur and become our inspiration to love others.

Father, thank you for every test of patience, every day
whether sent by you to develop a quality in me that I didn't have or by the enemy to try to make me fail. It is a win-win situation because the trial will produce patience in me and patience is going to have it's perfect work in me!

And hope maketh not ashamed

Chorus

When patience has it’s perfect work in you

“The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Longsuffering Patience"

WALK OUT LOVE
by
Rebecca Cooley

(Adapted from 1 John 4:18 - 20)

Father, I am learning to abide in you. I refuse to strive or struggle today. I believe LOVE expels fear! I believe LOVE drives away dread! I believe LOVE moves panic and worry. You are LOVE. You abide, live and dwell in me. Therefore LOVE abides in me. I submit all that I am to You now. Your love subdues all corruption in me and tames all dishonesty and fraud in me. Your love is working powerfully in my life today. I rest today in the love of my Almighty Savior. I relax today in your love! I revel today in the conscious joy of my complete salvation. I am complete in You today. My salvation frees me from sin and corruption! I am set free to abide in you! This is the dawning of a new day for me. I embrace today as a day to abide in you and walk in love.

I embrace this season as a new day dawning to a sea of love from which I have only taken a tiny sip. Father, lead me into the realization of your unfathomable fullness as I abide in you, lean on You and learn to walk in love. Concerning Long-suffering Patience, Your long-suffering patience is in me, therefore I take the time to listen to others and then listen for what Your Spirit has to say. I take the time to patiently minister from your heart to the heart of others. Love through me.

LOVE WALK

(Adapted from 1 John 4:20)

Verse

If I say “I love the Lord”

Yet I hate my brother I’m tellin’ a lie

If I do not love my brother whom I can see

How can I say “I love the Lord”

Who’s not right here in front of my eyes to see

Chorus

I’m workin’ on a love walk everyday

When life happens to me I put away hate

I’m workin on a love walk along the way

I slow down

Take the time to love, Take the time to love,

Take the time to love
