MAY 1, Galatians 5:22, 23

This month’s study is on the Fruit of the Spirit. The word “fruit” is singular, meaning one “fruit.” And “the Spirit” refers to the Holy Spirit. This is not a physical fruit you eat, but a special spiritual fruit. It is a fruit with 9 points or parts. These are the 9 virtues or characteristics of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance.

Dear reader, who has this Fruit of the Spirit? Clue: the Holy Spirit lives in the heart of the children of God. You must be a true believer before the Fruit of the Holy Spirit can be found in you.

We will find out more about The Fruit of the Spirit this month. And we will study each characteristic (good quality) in detail in the following days

Please circle all the fruits:

potatoes    corn    apples
broccoli    biscuits    honey-dew
candy    pears    carrots    grapes
pork    oranges    chicken    cherries
beans    strawberries    peas    kiwi
water-melon    beef    bananas

Thought: Am I a child of God? Does the Holy Spirit live in my heart?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to believe in You, so that I will have the Fruit of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
