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.

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.
