But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, – Galatians 5:22 (NIV)
Have you ever tried to be loving, full of joy, or at peace only to realize that you fall short? No matter how hard you try, it feels like you just can’t seem to remember to be those things?
I know that I’ve found that sometimes we can try to be good so hard that we forget that it’s all about God’s goodness. God will help us when we struggle with love, joy, peace and the other fruits of the spirit. One of the amazing things about God is how He meets us right where we are.
I’ve had times when I’ve told God, I just don’t have faith. God please help my unbelief. And guess what? He did.
The Holy Spirit will help us develop these fruit in our lives if we will just ask Him for help. So if you struggle, know that you can go to God. You can get His help developing good fruit in your life. He will give you the wisdom to know what to do and how to live out these fruit of the spirit in your life.
