Fruit of the Holy Spirit in You - Fruit ( John 15:8) Day 2

Fruit (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Fruit                                                                                          Day 2

By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

John 15:8

Many parents have reminded their children to be good representatives of the family when away from home. They teach their children that poor behavior by one member of the family reflects negatively on the entire family. If this principle is true, what message do we present for those who know that we follow and believe in an Almighty God?

Are the fruit of the Spirit evidenced in us in ways that honor God? Do our interactions show the joy we have because we follow the ways of a heavenly Father that loves us all? Do we display peace and patience during our ups and downs because we are faithful and know that God has dominion over all? Do our actions model the kindness, goodness, and gentleness of Christ? Do we follow our Savior who was crucified so that we all may have eternal life, regardless of our past sins during times when we lost our self-control?

Unless we remain connected to God, we will struggle to honor Him. When we are disconnected from Him, we cannot produce His fruit. Let us remain plugged-in and broadcast to all that He deserves the honor, glory, and praise. Let us reveal the fruit of the Spirit in us.

The Fruit of the Spirit in You

Fruit of the Spirit                                                                    Day 1

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.    

                                                     -NASB                  

Galatians 5:22-23

As we work to become a woman or man after God’s own heart, one powerful passage in particular stands out. It provides us with insight to becoming the finished product. In Galatians 5:22-23, not only do we discover what traits we will possess when we are guided by the Spirit, but we also learn that the seeds that produce these traits have already been planted in us.

The Holy Spirit has implanted in us the seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Each day, we have the opportunity to reveal to the world that not only do we possess these seeds, but that we are actually producing fruit.

So, let us ask ourselves, are we truly working to produce Godly fruit, or are we working to produce fruit that honors our own desires and personal endeavors? Are we working to reveal the fruit of the seeds instilled in each of us who receives the Holy Spirit, or are we producing fruit that only glorifies ourselves?

Over the next one hundred days, let us become more focused on revealing the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our day to day actions. Let us work to live a life that reflects our commitment to God. Let us pray to be filled with and guided by the Holy Spirit.
