Growing in the Fruit of the Spirit
I recently preached through the Fruit of the Spirit on Sunday mornings. Each week I provided a summary statement describing how the Holy Spirit helps us grow in that particular fruit. Here is a compilation chart of all nine summary statements together. Click here if you would like to download this as a decorative sheet which you can print out and put on your refrigerator or mirror.

GROWING IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
I will grow in love as I allow the Spirit to transform my attitude.
I will grow in joy as I allow the Spirit to direct my emotions.
I will grow in peace as I allow the Spirit to guard my mind.
I will grow in patience as I allow the Spirit to govern my reactions.
I will grow in kindness as I allow the Spirit to inspire my behavior.
I will grow in goodness as I allow the Spirit to purify my heart.
I will grow in faithfulness as I allow the Spirit to strengthen my character.
I will grow in gentleness as I allow the Spirit to soften my manner.
I will grow in self-control as I allow the Spirit to subdue my desires.
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such
things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23)
