"The fruit of the Spirit is love--temperance, kindness, longsuffering, meekness, goodness, joy, peace, and faith are the flavors, textures, colors: different and detectable but all part of one fruit. Remember one thing: fruit is not magic. It does not appear overnight: growth is real but slow. Protection and cultivation are vital. Setbacks there will be. Waiting and working are not always contradictory. Let us never lose heart. It is, after all, the fruit of the Spirit. Fruit is God-created, not man-made."

*God willing, November's posts will be focused on praise and thankfulness.
