Day 4: The Fruit of the Spirit

Scripture

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. — Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

Galatians 5:22-23

The fruit of the Spirit is singular. One fruit with nine flavors. You cannot pick and choose which ones you want. As you walk with the Spirit, all of them grow. You cannot manufacture patience by trying harder. You cannot create joy by positive thinking. These are the natural result of the Spirit living in you. Your job is to stay connected to the vine. His job is to produce the fruit.

Prayer

Spirit of God, produce Your fruit in my life. I want to be patient, kind, gentle, and self-controlled — not in my own strength, but by Your power.
