But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

 Have you ever planted a garden? Maybe it was simply a few pots with either some vegetables or fruits. If you are like me, you check it often to see if it produced anything. All the time, money and effort you’ve put into growing, you hope something positive results from your labor.

 As a child of God, He took care of the planting of His Holy Spirit inside you! As a result, He expects the fruits of the spirit to grow in your life. Do you recognize any of these traits that are truly fruitful? If you are like me, there are a few that I struggle with and sometimes feel like my life just doesn’t have the right environment for it to grow something good.

 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. 1 Corinthians 2:12

 Thankfully God’s Holy Spirit can help you in those areas of life that aren’t fruitful. You have to be willing to submit to His will and His way of pruning things from your life that hinder spiritual fruits. Yes, it may be painful and you have to surrender things and people that are toxic to growth, but its necessary if you are to become all He has planned and willed for you life.

 Are you willing to surrender to His pruning? Blessings will result when you totally surrender to the Master Gardner, and soon you’ll be producing spiritual fruit that yields many crowns here on earth and in Heaven. Become fruitful for God and be blessed.
