But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
- Galatians 5:22-23
I love this passage of scripture. The fruit of the Spirit is not a singular list. Rather it is a full list. A fruit filled life is a life marked by love and peace. It is a life of longsuffering which is a patient presence. The fruit filled life is a gentle life.
A fruit filled life is graced with goodness. It has faith as its foundation. Meekness exists, that is, strength under control. Temperance, self control is a part of the fruit filled life.
The fruit of the Spirit is a list built by God. It is abundant in its instruction by providing us a way to take inventory of ourselves. Fruit filled. Let our lives in Christ illustrate the healthy glow of a soul nourished by God. Fruit filled.
God bless!
In Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
