7th Fruit — Synopsis …
SYNOPSIS: Gentle choices are humbly made and performed with deep-seated Humility … They are open-minded, intuitive, and bold.
DETERMINING FACTOR: During decision-making, ask your Self — “Am I certain that this particular option’s is right, or am I only faithfully ‘certain’ that it is in harmony with God’s all-Loving Will? Does it require that I inflexibly commit to its completion, or does it allow me to adjust while I engage it?”
