The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.
These are not simply things we try harder to do. They describe who we become when we are filled and led by the Holy Spirit.
I know there are times when the fruit in my own life becomes compromised—when I let my own thoughts and ways take the place of obedience and worship. The health of the fruit in my life is directly connected to my willingness to empty myself and put God first in my heart, words, and actions.
I’d love to hear your experience with the Fruit of the Spirit in the comments below.
