SCRIPTURE
Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…
NUGGET
Notice that there is only One Source for this spiritual fruit. We produce fruit by connecting to the Holy Spirit. He is the key, the anchor, the source of this multifaceted fruit. Instead of striving to bear fruit, turn your attention to the Holy Spirit, and ask Him how you can cultivate your relationship with Him.
ACTIVATION
If you haven’t prayed directly to the Holy Spirit, I encourage you to do so. Think of Him as a real person, and talk to Him. Ask Him to counsel and empower you today. The quality and quantity of your fruit will increase as you pursue intimacy with the Holy Spirit. Get ready for some sweet fruit!
PRAYER
Holy Spirit, thank You for the amazing qualities of Your fruit. Show me how to increase our intimacy so that I bear much fruit. Stir up our connection. And let me hear Your counsel on the ears of my heart. In Jesus name, Amen.
