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.

TO PONDER

Have you ever been fruit picking? I remember as a child, climbing up plum and apricot trees to pick fruit for my grandmother to make jam! The thing about fruit is, it’s only good to you once you pick it. Fruit left on the tree doesn’t remain good, it over-ripens and goes bad. When we received the Holy Spirit we also received all the gifts. If you read this list again, I am sure there are some (perhaps many) there that you would like to have more of in your life! The truth is we have access to this fruit, the orchard goes with us through life, we just have to reach and pick the fruit! So, if you see an area of your life where you are in need of some fruit, call out to the Holy Spirit and receive!

PRAYER

Holy Spirit of God, thank you for grafting me to Jesus the true vine. Please continue to work on me, and in me, so that my life might produce even more fruit and even more people be drawn into the kingdom of Heaven. Amen
