2Peter1:5-8 (ESV)For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, & virtue with knowledge, & knowledge with self-control, & self-control with steadfastness, & steadfastness with godliness, & godliness with brotherly affection, & brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours & are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. — Life requires much endurance & the challenges are always increasing, leading to our constant striving each & everyday! With our God as the bar is raised, we must learn to be more flexible & trusting of our Father! This is where the real fruit comes from. Love Mel
