We all want to grow lives that matter. Jesus desires the same for us and so beckons us into a relationship with him where he will grow his character in our own unique personalities: the fruit of the Spirit. We need to get past the peeling of the fruit of the Spirit to discover how a relationship with The Orchard Keeper grows us. The fruit of the Spirit is not about being nice. It’s about being like Jesus.
