The Fruit of the Spirit is a single cluster of fruit, like a cluster of grapes with distinct, individual grapes making up that cluster. That means that the Holy Spirit is working this entire cluster in me, not just one or two of those listed. One of those individual distinctives is longsuffering. God treats us with longsuffering, and He expects His people to treat others with longsuffering. The character quality of Longsuffering means that you have a long fuse rather than a short fuse. Rather than blowing up in anger when you are provoked, you are able to show self-restraint. We see that in how God treats us, and we are to treat others that way, too. The only way is supernatural – for the Holy Spirit to produce that quality in you.

MVPs are found in every sport: the year’s Most Valuable Player. The Bible could be called the MVB – the Most Valuable Book. There is nothing quite like the Word of God. No other book can measure up to it. It has everything you need for life and godliness. If you want the Word of God to have rule in your life, to come alive as you read it, then it’s going to take more than a casual glance at it, more than a nod of acknowledgement, more than a Sunday morning only reading of it. You need to integrate it into your life, make your Quiet Times a priority, and allow the Holy Spirit to apply its truth.

The Fruit of the Spirit is a single cluster of fruit, like a cluster of grapes with distinct, individual grapes making up that cluster. That means that the Holy Spirit is working this entire cluster in me, not just one or two of those listed. One of those individual distinctives is peace. This is the same kind of peace that Jesus displayed. And according to Jesus, you can have that same peace in every situation. Peace is not the absence of problems. In fact, peace really shows its power in the midst of chaos. This is the kind of peace that allowed Jesus to sleep on a boat through a storm, and the kind of peace that allowed Him to walk calmly through a crowd wanting to throw Him over a cliff. And that kind of peace is the peace that He offers and that the Holy Spirit produces in you.
