A Fruitful Harvest

Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV)

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

*It's amazing how these fruits have no limitations and have the ability to create positivity, yet they are often viewed as foreign and can be the hardest to do. Think about it: Most people see negativity before positivity, it is often hard to love or believe in it when u have been hurt, faith begins to dwindle when u keep getting the same results, and it may be hard to be gentle or find joy with people or an environment that could care less about u ...Fun times, right? I am experiencing that myself. Yet these fruits are challenges that will take us to the next level...Change begins with us, and although it may suck, we are often led to be the first to share these fruits in hopes of sowing seeds that will reap more of a fruitful harvest. I ask you today to exercise enough control to think outside of yourself and your circle, and use these fruits to help encourage someone else. The only thing that can make life sweeter is by sharing these fruits. As badly as we may not want to, the very elements that we share may be the very thing to cause change. After all, everyone has sowed lies or negativity at some point...how about switching it up?
