The Fruit of the Spirit
The moment we received Christ, the Holy Spirit began producing fruit in us—making our character more like Jesus. You may feel certain aspects of Christ's character are growing in you while others are not. In reality, God has much more to give and grow in each of us. Don’t settle for perseverance, but not joy in your life. Don’t be content with faithfulness, but not love. In fact, don’t settle for anything less than to fully experience and demonstrate every fruit of the Spirit in your life!
