But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.
Galatians 5:25
Can you picture a world where there is no road rage, no yelling at store cashiers, and no arguing about tooth paste tube lids? Every day we are faced with petty annoyances, and every day we pop off at people because we think it will make things better. And, what is the result? We are angry, they are angry, feelings are hurt, and in the end all we have done is make stuff worse.
The fruits of the Holy Spirit seem simplistic but they are packed full of life changing, life improving characteristics. When we have the fruits of the Spirit we are less belligerent and more in control of our actions which translates into healthier personal relationships with others.
Seek the fruits of the Spirit.
