The Fruits of the Spirit

"By their fruit you will recognize them."

— Matthew 7:16

Generous Creator,

Life bears fruit when it is well rooted. The fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, goodness—testify to a life connected to You.

Thank You for the fruits my life already bears. For the moments when love, joy, and peace have flowed from me naturally.

May I continue to bear good fruit. May my life be nourishing for others, may my actions testify to Your love in me.

Amen.

Reflection

What fruits does your life bear? What fruits would you like to see develop?

For everyone to bear good fruit in their life.
