Galatians 5:22 - " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
Growing up, there were limits to the sweets that we children were allowed to eat. However, there were usually no limitations to the amount of fruit we could snack on. In the same way, God does not limit us to the amount of fruit that we can either produce or consume. There is no law of over indulgence regarding the fruit of the Spirit.
Yet, as children do, we often desire those things with are not good for us. We crave the sweet things of this world rather than the nutritious things of our Father. Beloved of God, we must ask the Lord to change our desire and our cravings for those of the Spirit. In so doing, the sweetness of the fruit of the Spirit will be ours to enjoy and to share abundantly with others.
