"By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There is no law against such things (Galatians 5:22). "
I was grateful to see this short piece of scripture in my emails this morning . I have always found in thought-provoking that Paul does not say fruits, but rather fruit. There is no choosing what sweetness we think might best serve our nutritional needs of the day. There is no picking the gift of love without filling our harvest baskets with the rest. This is how we are called to live, and this path is how we can "work for the good of all (6:10)," wherever our journey leads.
"Imagine these together, working for the healing of the world."
