       So, what is the Fruit of the Spirit I’ve been talking about? Well, I think must of us know the passage, and most of us probably have it memorized. Galatians 5:22, 23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law” (ESV). As I already stated, I believe we have these fruits already deposited to each of us. We just need to let them grow out in us. The seeds are there. The Holy Spirit wants to cultivate each of these attitudes into our lives. We have to let him grow them out in us. Indeed, it will take our whole lives, as we are going to be in constant growth. And we won’t achieve perfection in this life. But these fruits help us to become better people, which in turn enables us to have better lives and enjoy them more. If we continue to live with sinful habits and attitudes, we aren’t going to have as good a life as we could have.
