Today we will be addressing "The Fruit of The Spirit." First published on WTTR November 17, 2023.

Understanding that it is not us that grows the fruit of the Spirit, but rather God, is extremely liberating. (it's not our fruit, nor our garden) Both the fruit, and the garden from which it grows belongs to God. Once we understand this, we no longer have to struggle to be fruit producers. It is meaningless to try and produce something that is not ours to produce.

Every believer is "complete in Christ," having been "throughly furnished unto all good works" - and God will grow the fruit of the Spirit, when a believer learns to operate FROM not FOR their completeness.
