Strength in Christ

True strength begins with knowledge that all we are comes as a result of our relationship with Jesus Christ. Our relationship with Christ yields spiritual fruit: kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, humility, and authenticity. These gifts strengthen our hearts and the hearts of our communities. They enable us to do God’s work, and they empower us to endure hardship and sorrow. The strength that Jesus gives in these gifts makes us supple and unbreakable, not brittle or unyielding. -Wesley Study Bible pg 1390
