Book excerpt: Trying to find solid ground in a shaky world is sometimes challenging, but God has blessed us with powerful provisions to enrich our spiritual lives, provisions like The Fruit of the Spirit, powerful virtues that can keep us fortified as we walk an inspired path, no matter what the circumstances. As Galatians 5:22-23 explains, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." And while it's easy to talk about these virtues, it's sometimes hard to put them into practice. Whenever you need to renew your faith or feel inspired, spend time with this uplifting collection of Scriptures and quotes that celebrate the Fruit of the Spirit. Each empowering verse is perfect for reflection, coloring groups, or Bible study and is showcased by stunning art from illustrator Lorrie Bennett.
