Fruit

Before reading the following passage and devotion I highly advise you to take a moment of prayer asking the Lord God for wisdom.

The Fruit of the spirit are 9 different essential qualities of the born again Christian. Notice that the plurality of the the term is one (Fruit). When you gain one of these following nine qualities the rest of them are clearly in reach; for they all interlink and fit in with each other.
LOVE- Love one another deeply. Not physically, but through every emotion and dimension that can be felt through a physical level.
JOY- Joy is a power that cannot be stop and is self sufficient for its self. It drives and powers action and endurance. With Joy you can go very far in any direction at any speed for however long.
PEACE- Peace is the ability to remain enclosed in positive non-threatning attitude when submerged in negative surroundings.
PATIENCE- Patience is like the oxygen tank that allows you to breath for extended periods beyond what is normal. Patience can be kept for years and lost in a matter of seconds; hold on to this when you aquire it.
KINDNESS- Kindness is felt through those who surround you. It is the actions that affect others on the positive side; show your kindness through your actions and mannerisms.
GOODNESS- Goodness is how you should be perceived by others based off is your Kindness to them.
FAITHFULNESS- Faithfulness is believing no matter what that God will take every situation that you encounter into His own hands no matter the problem.
GENTLENESS- Gentleness is an aura of being careful with everything and everyone that comes in contact with you.
SELF CONTROL- Self Control is the power to know who you are and where your limits are. Keeping within those guidelines is the "self controlling" part to this.

The Fruit of the Spirit is needed for everyone who believes & calls on the Lord's name. These attributes are all tied into one personality that we should adapt & live by. If you can't live by these all-in-one personalities, then you are not fit for the Kingdom of Christ (Heaven). Do all that you can each day to learn, master, & spread this fruit onto others: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.
