he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John

Over the course of this week, review the
passages that tell us about each of the virtues that are considered “fruit of
the Spirit.”
Consider how you might welcome God’s
Spirit into your life in a greater capacity, allowing it to produce more of
these virtues.
Pray for the wisdom to cultivate the
Spirit, and resist the influence of the flesh.
