If your desire is to have the qualities listed in 5:22-23, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, then you know that Holy Spirit is leading you. At the same time, be careful not to confuse your subjective feelings with Holy Spirit’s leading. Being led by Holy Spirit involves the desire to hear, the readiness to obey God’s Word and the sensitivity to discern between your feelings and his promptings. Live each day controlled and guided by Holy Spirit. Then the words of Christ will be in your mind, the love of Christ will be behind your actions, and the power of Christ will help you control your selfish desires.--- Life Application Study Bible notes PrayerHeavenly Father,I know that my flesh can be easily lured away from the path of discipleship.
