How Some View the Fruit of the Spirit



We know the The Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. But, we tend to have misconceptions about it. We sometimes act like we think we can have “too much” of it. Or maybe we try to find the minimums. We can also fall into an unhealthy way of thinking. But we should see it differently. We should see it as limitless and something to be pursued!



Imagine that a cop pulls you over one day and tells you that you broke the law by being “too kind” to the people that cut you off in traffic. That wouldn’t make sense! Would anyone make a law against being too kind to others? No, there are no limits on kindness.



God created the Fruit of the Spirit for us to have abundantly, there is no way to have “too much” of it. There are no restrictions for how much you can have!
