“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…”
— Galatians 5:22–23, NASB1995
More Than Personality Traits
Love. Joy. Peace. These are not goals to reach.
They are evidence of a Spirit-filled life.
We don’t produce this fruit by trying harder—we bear it by abiding.
You may be tempted to measure yourself by your temper, your tone, or your to-do list. But fruit grows when we stay rooted in Christ and walk by the Spirit—not the flesh.
This fruit isn’t for display. It’s for others to taste and see that the Lord is good.
Reflection:
Which fruit is ripening in your life? Which one needs tending?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, grow Your fruit in me. Prune what hinders love and fill me with joy, peace, and self-control that reflects Christ. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
