But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Galatians 5:22-23a NLT
We've been talking about seasons. In the Fall is a great time for harvesting apples, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, asparagus... mmmmm, good stuff. The oranges are just now turning the right color and a whole 'nother crop of pomegranates are about ready. I love watching the plants and trees bud, blossom, and deliver. I can see what's coming and know how good it's going to be when it ripens and matures.
We're supposed to be God's harvest. What does He see as He watches us? Do we blossom? Are we growing? Is there any evidence of His fruit in our lives - Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, or Self-Control? What DOES He see?
Prayer:
Father,
We know it is only by Your Grace that we even have life, but we want to honor You in all our ways. Lord, we want to pass the fruit inspection of our lives. Help us to perfectly reflect You to a seeking world. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
