Got Fruit?

This past Sunday at FUSION Gathering at Connections we explored the fruits of the Spirit!  Take a look at Galatians 5:13-26.  The Apostle Paul discusses 9 fruits of the Spirit which are characteristics we should embody when we align ourselves with God's will.

LOVE
JOY
PEACE
PATIENCE
KINDNESS
GOODNESS
FAITHFULNESS
GENTLENESS
SELF-CONTROL

Healthy trees bear good fruit!  So what does it mean to be a "healthy Christian"?  Are we seeking to grow in our faith?  Are we loving God and our neighbors in every way we can?  Are we asking for God's guidance in our lives?  When we practice spiritual disciplines like praying, reading Scripture, serving others, etc. we bear good fruit!  And this "fruit" looks like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control!  How will you live your life in order to be a healthy and fruitful "tree"?
