Grow in Goodness reminds us that those who are wise are people of virtue – they walk in integrity – bearing the fruit of goodness.

Galatians 5:22-23 (AMP)But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Psalm 84:11 (CSB) For the Lord God is a sun and shield. The Lord grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.

Galatians 5:22-23 (TPT) But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

Beautiful Harvest (Grow Fruit) reminds us to be intentional to bear fruit (and keep bearing fruit), and not just in the moments it’s easy to do so, but also in the moments it stretches us and grows our character.

Galatians 5:22-24 (TPT) But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its varied expressions: joy that overflows, peace that subdues, patience that endures, kindness in action, a life full of virtue, faith that prevails, gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit. Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

Luke 6:32 (NLT) “If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners love those who love them!

Luke 8:5, 8, 11, 15 (NKJV) A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. …But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold…. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. …the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

1 Corinthians 2:16 (VOICE) For the Scripture asks, “Does anyone know the mind of the Lord well enough to become His advisor?” But we do possess the mind of the Anointed One.
