The Fruit the Spirit Produces

Good morning family, Happy Friday! Praise God for bringing you through another the week. God loves you. I love you. Take a moment to pray for those affected by hurricane Helene. God will hear and answer your prayers. Let’s sing, There's a sweet, sweet spirit in this place, And I know that it's the spirit of the Lord; There are sweet expressions on each face And I know they feel the presence of the Lord! Sweet Holy Spirit, Sweet Heavenly Dove, Stay right here with us Filling us with Your love, And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise, Without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived When we shall leave this place. Today’s verse is from Galatians 5:22-23. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Just like an apple tree produces apples and a vineyard produces grapes, so we as Christians are also meant to produce certain things in our life. Just like the fruit of a tree isn't meant for the tree itself, but for others, so also the fruit of the Spirit in a Christian's life is not meant for themselves, but for others. We are to love one another, take joy in one another, have peace with one another, and be kind to one another. The fruit of the Spirit is meant to be grown and harvested within Christian community rather than in isolation. Be honest and ask yourself: Which fruit am I producing? Which fruit am I not producing, and why am I not producing it? Take note of a few small steps you can take to grow closer to God in those areas of your life and produce more fruit. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
