9 days

Fruit of the Spirit

Nine days exploring the nine-fold fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23 — what it looks like and how the Spirit grows it in us.

Each day takes one piece of the fruit, with Scripture, a meditation, and a prayer.

Day 1 · sample devotional

Love

"Read Galatians 5:16-26 and 1 Corinthians 13."
Galatians 5:22; 1 Corinthians 13

Meditate

Love stands at the head of the list because all the others flow from it. The love that is the fruit of the Spirit is not a feeling we manufacture — it is the love of God poured into our hearts by the Spirit (Romans 5:5), expressing itself in patience, kindness, and self-giving.

Pray

Holy Spirit, fill me with the love of the Father today. Let me love the people you put in front of me with patience, kindness, and truth. Amen.
