Different Kind Of Fruit

Scripture: 22 The Holy Spirit produces a different kind of fruit: unconditional love, joy, peace, patience, kindheartedness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. You won’t find any law opposed to fruit like this. 24 Those of us who belong to the Anointed One have crucified our old lives and put to death the flesh and all the lusts and desires that plague us. (Galatians 5:22-24 The Voice) In this letter to the Galatians, Paul has been reminding the church of letting sin, and even unnecessary slavery to law, take away the grace and freedom that we receive in Jesus Christ. Then he goes on to tell us about a different kind of fruit. This fruit is what the life in with the Holy Spirit in our lives can, and should, look like: unconditional love, joy, peace, patience, kindheartedness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Father, this is the life that I want. Help me to continue to grow this different kind of fruit in my life. AMEN May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to You, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Psalm 19
