The verse of the day, tells us about fruit!
Not just any fruit that we can go and get from the farmers market!
It is a fruit that grows within the life of the followers of Christ!
This fruit is meant to bless others…
When we allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us, the fruit of the Holy Spirit will touch the lives of those around us! This is what Paul the Apostle wrote: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV

This reminds me in part of the message Jesus preached. It is known as the sermon on the mount!
““Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Matthew 5:3-12 NKJV

The Kingdom of God! The comfort of the Lord!
When we are faced with opposition, we have the opportunity to let the fruit of the Holy Spirit reach out in love, and joy, peace… and so on!
As I look around, there are so many hurting people! Age does not seem to have any barriers! Paul goes on to say this: “Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:1-2 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/gal.6.1-2.NKJV
As a follower of Christ this is my desire to walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the things that come my way that are contrary to the Spirit of God!
