LOOK AT MY FRUIT - FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

The fruit of the Spirit is a vital part of your walk with God. They are the “receipts” or proof of your relationship with Him. You have the opportunity to use the fruit of the Spirit in your everyday life. The fruit of the Spirit includes love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These characteristics are not only given to you by the Holy Spirit, but they also serve as evidence of God to those around you. As you walk with God, you will experience different seasons of sowing, working, waiting, and harvesting. Each day, you have the opportunity to sow seeds that require work and stewardship. With time and faithfulness, these seeds can grow into tangible fruit that transforms lives. Every day, you are sowing into something. You can choose to sow seeds of disunity or anger, or you can sow seeds of the fruit of the Spirit. The choice is yours, but you don’t have to do it alone. When you partner with the Holy Spirit, He equips you to operate in the fruit of the Spirit daily. Today, take inventory of your fruit. Where do you see the fruit of the Spirit in your life, and where are you experiencing a lack? In those areas of lack, ask the Holy Spirit to produce new and fresh fruit. Whether you feel like you lack peace, struggle with self-control, or need more joy, you can ask God to provide an abundance of it. Not only will God meet you right where you are, but with the Holy Spirit, you can display the fruit of the Spirit as proof in your everyday life.

Application/ Reflection:

• What fruit of the Spirit do you need to develop more in your life?
• How do you see the fruit of the Spirit active in your life?
• What fruit have you seen from the seeds you have planted?

Prayer:

God, thank You for the fruit of the Spirit. Thank You that I get to be the evidence of Your goodness here on this earth. Today, God, I ask for a fresh giving of fruit in my life. Sow into me so I may reap a harvest of good fruit, Kingdom fruit. God, let me continue to grow in any fruit I may be lacking. Allow me today to look more like You in everything I do. God, in any of the fruits I am lacking, come and fill the space. I love You, In Jesus’ name, Amen.
