What fruit are you producing?

Galatians 5: 22, 23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
The fruit of the Spirit is one of the most common known scripture verses known to Christians. But what exactly does it mean?

Fruit is wonderful! It's healthy, sweet, and organic. That is one of the reasons why the apostle Paul decided to call the fruit of the Spirit the fruit of the Spirit. (LOL)  The fruit of the Spirit is what the Holy Spirit wants to produce in you. The word fruit comes fromthe Greek word karpos  which means, the fruit of plants, the fruit of trees, or the fruit of one's body, such as a person's children or offspring.
So what the Holy Spirit wants to do is to produce fruit from you. But fruit doesn't just grow all of a sudden. It comes from something. A seed. No matter what it is, whether it be an apple, orange, banana, or plum, they all start with a little, tiny seed. Once you plant that seed it has to be nurtered and cared for. You have to water and feed it. Give it enough sunlight, but not too much. And then, you will begin to see the offspring of all of your hard work. The fruit will begin to grow.

This is what the Holy Spirit is trying to do. It all begins with a little seed. A verse from the bible, a thought, a sermon from church, and grows it. By going to church, reading your bible, spending time praying and seeking the Lord, talking with other believers, you begin to grow the fruit of the Spirit inside of you. It's not easy though, the flesh is not willing to give in and give out of itself. The flesh wants what the flesh wants and is not easy to be changed. That is why  you cannot do it on your own. Only with the Lord's help will you overcome.

When you received Jesus in your heart God sowed his Spirit and Word into your heart like a seed. You were spiritually born again by the seed of the Word of God. And just like everything else that grows from a seed, the character of the seed determines the fruit. So based on what is inside of your heart, that is what is going to come out. So, what fruit are you growing?
