Fruit is the result of growth. It's the evidence that a plant or a vine or a tree has been rooted and established, fed and nurtured, watered and staked, and pruned to the point of reproducing. Spiritual fruit is what results in our lives when we root ourselves in a relationship with God. When we live a life connected like this with God, He grows His nature in who we are, and fruit results: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control.
A life lived in connection with God is a life lived in a healthy direction, a life that makes a difference for tomorrow.
The fruits of the Spirit are those God-like qualities that make us look like Him. They are His nature exhibited in our personalities. When we plant ourselves in a relationship with Jesus, day in and day out, the result of that relationship is the fruit of His charateristics in us.
God's character grows in you as you plant yourself in Him. Make the decision to plant yourself in God.
