Sweet Fruit

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23

I guess it makes sense that these are called the "fruit" of the spirit...not the "vegetables".  :)  The biggest thing that stands out from this verse for me is that absolutely ZERO of these characteristics come naturally to me all of the time.  It's only when I tap into the Vine, can my little branch bear any/all fruit.  And, when I do, God not only uses the Spirit to change me from the inside out - He is able to change others.
