“Grow deep roots to harvest rich fruit! When your roots
run deep, you cannot help but bear the fruit of the Spirit” (Michael Beckwith).
Thus ends the journey through the fruits of the spirit.
Even though my journey of writing about the fruits of the spirit has ended my
study and application of them in my life has not. Because, if we as Christians
stop learning about and applying the fruits of the spirit then we fail to grow
in God.
Through this journey I learned a few things that I hope
you realized as well. First, all of the fruits of the spirit are connected in
one way or another. Detaching them was a difficult task as was defining them.
For example: if one has a gentle spirit then that person will love others. If
that person loves others then the person will show self-control if someone else
angers him, and so on.
Another aspect I hope you have seen is that without God
one cannot exhibit all of the fruits of the spirit. This is why one must be in
constant communication with God. And, why you must have a relationship with
God. God wants us to be his friend, and he wants him to grow in him. Above all
else we must remember that when certain things happen in our lives, that we may
not like, it is all within God’s plan for us. That is why we must trust him.
So, are you willing to grow and exhibit the fruits of the
spirit? Do you have a relationship with God in order to better exhibit the
fruits of the spirit?
