Over the past nine weeks we have explored the nine qualities of the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. The production of this fruit in our lives in a lifelong pursuit - as you continue to be conformed to the character of Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to rule in your heart and life, this fruit will develop. Don’t despair if you are still struggling in some of the areas - I am right there with you, and every believer, at some point, experiences difficulty in living the fully-realized Spirit-filled life. The good news is that by submitting to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to empower you, these qualities can be ours and they can be increasing. Praise God for the gift of the Spirit!
