How does the fruit of the spirit show up in our life?  Do we hold others accountable to this same standard?  As Christians, do we expect those elected in public office to demonstrate the fruit of the spirit too?  In what ways can we demonstrate more love by demonstrating these characteristics?

Galatians 5: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control.
