In our lives we cultivate different fruit for different situations. If we are known for anger, than we have cultivated the fruit of anger. I could continue down the list of bad fruit but I choose to focus on good fruit. Galatians 5:22 and 23 tells us "22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control." So we need to choose how we will react to different situations. To live by the Spirit you have to retain your flesh in how to react to situations. Today I choose ___________ to live in. It is that simple as you do that choice daily God will supernaturally agree with your decision and you will build a new tree and cultivate a new fruit in your life. What are you cultivating??
