Fruit That Flourishes in Surrender
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…” — Galatians 5:22–23 (NASB 1995)
The fruit of the Spirit isn’t something you can manufacture. It’s not a checklist—it’s a result. It grows as you stay rooted in Christ and yielded to the Spirit.
Love that chooses the good of others. Joy that isn’t circumstantial. Peace that surpasses understanding. This is the life the Spirit produces in a surrendered heart.
Don’t try harder. Grow deeper.
Reflection:
Am I striving to look spiritual—or surrendering to truly be changed?
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, grow Your fruit in my life. I give You space to change what I cannot. Let Your beauty be seen in me. 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.
