Where does that come from? matched

They ask that question. matched

Now, some of us, uh some people have all of those things. matched

Some of those some people, some Christians have um all peace and joy and uh wisdom and this uh ability to to be unflappable in the midst of life's assaults. matched

But at times you might say, Ah, I really have peace and I have uh wisdom, but I don't have the joy of the Lord that I wish I had. matched

Well, again, keep in mind, those things are fruits of the Holy Spirit. matched
