Growing our relationship with the Spirit takes work. The Spirit sometimes whispers, and the Spirit moves slowly. God gives his followers the gift of the fruit of the Spirit to all who believe in Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that all followers of Jesus always display this fruit. Walking in step with the Spirit at the Spirit’s pace takes some time to learn and requires a consistent yes to God’s ways rather than the world’s. You’re invited to lean into the Spirit again this weekend, and the fruit of his Spirit will come alive in you and in the world.
