Galatians 5:22-23 | Bible Verse and Affirmation for Everyday Faith

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 · BSB

Reflection

Paul calls these fruit, not achievements. Fruit grows. It takes time and the right conditions, and nobody forces an apple by straining harder. Stay close to the Spirit and let Him grow it.

A prayer

Holy Spirit, grow Your fruit in me: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness. I can't fake it, and I don't want to.
