Pistos (Greek), meaning: to be trusted, reliable, believing, to be counted on at all times, of a firm persuasion, faithful.
Faith
and faithfulness are closely linked - faith being foundational to all
that we believe and act upon. Faith is that undefinable power through
which we can realize as reality things that are as yet unseen.
Faithfulness is the working out of this inner belief system. When we
have faith in God, we act in faithful ways. Acts of faithfulness are the
demonstration that we have a true faith in God and such acts are the
threads holding our belief and behavior system together. As the writer
has said, "faith without works is dead."
But the fruit of the
spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness,
Gentleness, and Self-Control.... - Galations 5:22 23

16 April 2019 Kindness by robert Strand
Chrestotes (Greek), pronounced khray-stot'-ace, meaning:
useful moral excellence of character or demeanor, gracious, gentle,
goodness, and kindness.
Kindness is planted in seed form, imputed, and ingrained in the new nature of a new Christian under the code name of "fruit." It's ours to be developed by the work of the Spirit... it's to be shown in all of our human contacts. The goal is for each of us to be as kind to others as Jesus Christ in His mercy has been kind to us. Kindness is a sign of greatness! It is intended to pervade and touch our entire nature. It is to replace the harsh and hardness. Jesus was a kind person, and people are attracted to kindness personified.

| "You Are Crisp Autumn Morning Air" |
![]() Even though autumn brings some death, it always makes you feel vibrant and excited. Something about cooler days, longer nights, and changing leaves deeply touches you. You feel motivated and driven in the fall. You feel like you can start over and be whoever you want to be. |
