Growing from within
In Galatians 5:22-23 Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit — the character that grows in a life led by God's Spirit. Note it is “fruit” (singular): one life, many expressions.
Nine qualities
Love, joy, peace
Longsuffering, gentleness, goodness
Faith, meekness, temperance
Against such there is no law. This is not produced by effort alone, but grown as we walk in the Spirit.
Application
Which fruit is most evident in your life right now? Which is least? Ask the Spirit to cultivate it, and look for one practical way to live it out today.
Reflection
