But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22,23
We are God's fruit trees with nine fruits of His Spirit to be seen by the world that signify that we belong to Him! Some fruits take longer to develop and ripen on the vine than others, but nonetheless if we persevere, they will eventually appear!
There are many things that promote the growth of the fruit of the Spirit in us such as trials and tribulations, relationships and even sickness that produces patience, but the main thing that bears the fruit and maintains a healthy crop is to abide in the vine! There are no Lone Rangers, those who think that being alone by themselves promotes holiness when in fact the enemy is separating them from the flock of God!
Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches that receive life from being in relationship with Him and with others! To be disconnected would bring about death as a fruit plucked from the vine will wither and die.
"I am the vine, you are the branches, 'He who abides in Me and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.' " John 15:5
