LoveLove as First Fruit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Love heads the list of the Spirit's fruit, showing its foundational importance in Christian life.
The Holy Spirit produces love as the first and foremost fruit in believers' lives. All other fruits—joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—flow from this foundation of love. Love is not manufactured by human effort but grown by the Spirit.
For Today
Yield to the Holy Spirit today, allowing Him to produce genuine love in your heart rather than trying to manufacture it yourself.
Prayer
Holy Spirit, produce Your fruit in my life, beginning with love. I cannot create it myself—transform me from within. Amen.
