Hey sis!! Today’s question is easy: which of these 9 fruits of the spirit have you seen yourself grow in and which one do you feel like you’ve still got some ways to go? 👀😂💗 For me: I’ve definitely grown in my patience !! Like the transformation God has done in my life in this area is amazing. & the one I’m growing in right now is meekness!
Same for me. My patience is being tested especially with this illness I have that drs are having a hard time figuring out. My relationship with Christ is the strongest it’s ever been but I’m having fear because we can’t figure out what’s going on. Its hard to know what to fix in our body if we don’t know what’s going on. It’s something in my autonomic nervous system that’s being affected and we can’t understand why. Please be in prayer 🙏 for me. I’d really appreciate it. Where 2 or more are gathered He is with us. Matt. 18:20. ❤ I know He’s the great physician.
I'd say patience for me too! with these two kids under one, allllllll I've been seeing is my lack of patience and I know the Lord is definitely working in me on that!
I’ve grown in gentleness I was an affectionate person so I’m learning to be more gentle, I’m still having issues with patience because my irritation level is high but I’m progressing.
I had the same two before I even saw your list. God just confirmed this morning something I have been waiting on for almost four years. He sure grew both my patience and trust during that time.😬
Mine is definitely patience he’s growing my patience through my son who was born with Down syndrome trisomy 21 he’s a blessing and so full of love of God my husband is a very aggressive person how he shows his love is tough but through God working through our son God us transforming everyone in my family it’s amazing to understand and know that God is in control and we need to have faith that his ways are better then ours .
It’s the peace for me and I absolutely love it 🥰, when I was a lukewarm Christian practicing new age I had horrible anxiety but I have been fully with Christ since my Daniel fast in 2021 and life has been absolutely amazing✝️ love this video and your content be blessed 😇
I was born in Buddhism and hindu family but I found Jesus as my saviour. No one can seperate me from God.Thank you Jesus for everything I have. You are the living God -Amen
I have seen so many of these signs. I believe that one of them is obedience. For me the Spirit whispers daily what I should do right and I have come to enjoy obeying God and remembering his word.
Some churches preach so much about sin that it overwhelms the message of love. 1 Peter 4:8 says " Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins"
Hey, girl I don’t usually participate but I’m starting today😂. Got it down: PATIENCE ❤ Growing 🌱currently: PEACE Under Construction real bad 😅: SELF-CONTROL ** I really appreciate your videos ❤they are a beautiful guide for my current journey. Praise GOD 💛
Love and kindness come easier for me, but my patience is another story. I have always struggled with patience since I was a child, but the Lord definitely has been taking me on an adventure to strengthen it.
I definitely grown with my patience, peace & love! I need to work on having more joy in my everyday life! I’m a female college athlete (track and field) and I didn’t start to enjoy my sport until currently my junior year with the help of the Lord. I’m still practicing every single day!
This was a great video today. I have been struggling to see if I have changed in anyway sometimes. I think the Devil get in my head and sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough and that I have not changed. But I know I have. I am finding joy in things that I usually would not. Even though my car was in the shop and my grandma is in the hospital right now I have joy because I know God is moving in every aspect of my life and my loved one lives. I got my car back and now she is working fine, she is doing what she needs to do. My grandma can move her legs now which she could not do before. I Thank God for the miracles he works. The struggle I am having is self-control. I have bought myself an abstinence ring which is a good thing. Little steps at a time but cursing has been really a problem for me. I do not even notice I am doing it sometimes but I know I have to stop. It has been a journey for me so far to stop.
Hey Melody I’m glad you posted this, I’ve sharing about the fruit of the spirit for the past two weeks I even started a game with my kids. We put all the fruits in a bowl and have to draw one and whatever we choose we have to demonstrate that all week. I even introduced it to my prayer group as well. I’ll be posting your video in our group me so they can see we’re on the same path.
I'm growing through self control but I know God is working within me, giving me the power and the desire to do what pleases Him, the easy one is generousity, I love helping and serving people
One fruit of the Spirit I’ve grown in is patience. I was once really impatient, but now since I’ve been saved for going on 3 years, I have really learned to wait. One fruit that God is working on me with is self-control. Often, I find myself ready to move forward and do/say things, and the Holy Spirit be like “wait on me” 😂
Comes natural for me: Kindness Currently going through: Faithfulness I was brought up in a family of kindness so it was easy for me to be kind, placing others needs before mine. Thank you so much for this, Melody❤. This brought a deeper understanding to what I'm learning 🙏❤
What I also found invaluable is learning that kindness is to give what is eternally useful. Once God compelled me to speak the truth in love to my best friend of 19 years. It ended in our parting for about 6 months, as her heart was not ready to receive it. But God also had major spiritual heart surgery planned for me also. That kindness of speaking the truth in love was God's kindness that led us both to huge repentance. I began to see how in failing to take much needed rest for myself to "be there" for her, that I was in fact living out of my flesh and also hurting her more than helping her. I needed so much healing myself. Now, God is at the center of our friendship and He has removed unhealthy boundaries and enmeshed and toxic behavior from us both and is turning us to prayer, where we used to complain. Kindness doesn't always look like we think it should. Kindness in this case was God breaking us apart to put us back together in Him.
For me what’s comes naturally is love like I really am a lovable person I try to spread love to all my family and friends the one area I seem to need work in is self control like I need to be able to not let what people say get to me just ignore it
Something I found extremely helpful is learning that joy also means to acknowledge God's grace in our lives. We see that in the Nehemiah passage you quote too as that instruction to celebrate came after the people repented of their sin and were deeply grieved. I believe God wanted them to turn their focus to His grace and stop them from turning to shame - to see that repentance glorifies Him and to honor Him by rejoicing in His grace for us. That understanding of joy really really helps me daily look for and celebrate the changing of my mind in Christ Jesus- to see where He has been transforming me to look more like Him and to take joy in that.
Roman's 8 is a great book to gather the concept of waiting for Gods return and hope to have and maintain during the wait. This is the trust we can have as were growing is knowing that those trails are working for our good. God is with us. Good word Sis🤜🤛
Peace is the one, and I don’t want it to Stop Jesus, Joy of just thinking about my Father sometimes I’m not going anywhere, the joy of getting up and praising Jesus And when it comes to praise it brings this unexplainable joy and it’s doing something I can’t describe to my spirit 😇
Thank you for sharing. The most challenging for me is patience, like I always want everything done immediately, I want to know the end even from the beginning, especially in relationships. But when the Lord found me, that was the first thing he dealt with. Each time I'm studying God's word, the word " WAIT" keeps popping up to my face, it almost looks like I am being hunted with that word, until I became use to it and I allow God's will and allows him to have his way. It's been an interesting journey trusting the Lord.
it’s truly hard for me to show patience , I be trying so hard but it’s a little more complicated than I thought but I believe God changes heart so I trust Him with this ! I’ve been way more like a loving person no matter what I just love whoever comes my way and never condamne them for nothing , I really see changement in this area of my life and I believe I will keep growing with Jesus !
Love, joy, peace, faithfulness, meekness, self control has become easier everyday. Never struggled with love. Thank you Jesus! However, I still pray for patience & longsuffering.
It’s joy , I’ve been a smiley and bubbly person my whole life . I’m quite patient and all BUT MEEKNESS lord help me . I’m a real show off , I pray against it 🙏🏽
For me, kindness comes easy for me. I go out of my way to ensure I give to others. However, I need to work on meekness and self-control. I admittedly have a short temper and am in constant prayer to change my ways.
Peace is very easy for me , I tend to not let things get to me because I know god is in control. My self-control could be better if my temper and patience wasn’t so short but I’m trying to work on that
I think that over the years my peace and joy have grown IMMENSELY through all the the trials and tribulations I’ve endured. My self control in one area and my obedience needs improvement. Thank the Lord that this is a journey and not a destination as you said 😩❤️
Thank you for this. God is working with me on my patience. When I don't see what I'm praying for I start to think what am I doing wrong ... instead of trusting in God's timing. God is so faithful and loving it's nothing but the devil trying to make me doubt. I fail daily. But I won't give up or give in to the devil. I'm so thankful God is so patient and never gives up on me. Glory to God❤
And another thing 😅. I was praying through the fruit of faithfulness yesterday. As a returned Prodigal verses on God calling us to be faithful have terrified me. But yesterday God called me to remember that faithfulness is His work in me and He told me to look up verses on His faithfulness so that I might build myself up in my most holy faith through His Promises to me. Wow!! It was incredible what that did. Satan was accusing me, but when I took my fear to God, He turned the accusations into a gift- as He turned my focus to feeding on His faithfulness and it's then I began to see how very present His faithfulness is in me and how it's been growing too.
So we’ll explained Lord continue to pour your wisdom into Melody to help spread your goodness to your people. Lord bless her in all areas of her life for she has been obedient and faithful in giving your wisdom. Amen ! Thank you Jesus I am so touched and so grateful for all the lessons you speak about just in the right times. I love your channel
I feel as if God has been showing me how to love in different ways in this overall season, but He has also been trying to grow me in patience: patience with myself, with prayers, with my peers. And that even ties into my self control because I’ve been really learning and growing in my self control in boundaries and in other things as well. It’s been hard trying to navigate those things He’s trying work with me on and college life. It’s exhausting but I refuse to give up😤
I think for me kindness comes very easily But I really used to struggle with being patient at times, it's getting better though And I thank God for that🥳
I've definitely been growing in my faithfulness. I have been drawing near to God and feel that he is drawing near to me. I'm so thankful for how the Lord has been present in my life this season and feel that my faith is being strengthened and renewed so that I can glorify Him. 🙌🏽💗
Would definitely say I am growing through having that self control in many aspects of my life. I can say I am find ease in my spiritual life of having the fruit of peace. I had a disappointment in my life take place earlier this week and although I was upset I was able to muster up some peace that in due time/ God’s timing that that desire will come to fruition. I had the mindset that yesterday’s problems and disappointments were yesterday’s problems and disappointments. Would say my faith in Jesus is expanding
I feel like I overflow with love and kindness. But I feel like my patience and faithfulness (especially when it comes to being patient with myself and keeping my word to myself) I need a lot of tending to in those areas
Meekness! I have seen the Holy Spirit completely transform me in this area…I never knew how to explain it but you explained it perfectly! While to the world it is seen as weakness, it’s a quiet strength in the Lord 🙌
Now for me it’s Peace definitely, Patience and Meekness.. sadly even as a young christian I had no peace, I grew up in an angry and hostile home so I was taught to act like that, in the past few years the Lord has changed me and is really developing me in the fruits of the spirit, I’m not perfect in any of them yet, but Praise the Lord in each one I’m far better than I was years ago.. but Peace, patience and meekness has become my strongest so far. Keep working in me/ us Lord ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you Jesus ♥️ Amen
For me what comes naturally is love, kindness but I’m working on my patience and gentleness. I started praying over the fruits of the spirit last week so your video was confirmation ❤ Thank you for another great video.
I have to grow in kindness and self-control. If anyone reads this I ask for prayer. These two are really hard for me and I feel like giving up even though I don’t want to. I ask you pray for spiritual stamina on my behalf. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you so much Melody. This is so timely for me as iam going through a season of refinement. Your videos have become a daily beacon of hope for me. GOD BLESD YOU❤
My greatest struggle is always how others can believe God for their wildest dreams and jump off the cliff and when I consider jumping, I get shut down and then feel stuck where I am. I have been faced with a desire to move cross country, it first rose a few years ago so I could write professionally for tv. But the numbers as far as living didn’t make sense, they still don’t but I want to go just to see what happens. Why do I have so much doubt if any other time God has moved me and I had doubt He still provided for me regardless. I’m not comparing me to them, I just wonder what I am doing wrong that Im not hearing Him as clearly.
I was crying a minute ago cause that's exactly how I feel. Sometimes I feel like He enjoys seeing me struggle and being stuck...this feeling so confusing. I just pray He helps me cause I'm confused
I believe I’ve grown in kindness and love. But i struggle with patience and self-control. I’m getting better with reducing my quick temper or irritation for others but i know i have a long way to go
Hi Melody, you are right that change takes time especially the fruits of the spirit….. the part of love got me because GOD HAS been helping me love even before offences comes. The Grace to forgive and let go is now becoming more easy for me to do than always wanting to have my own way.
i’m definitely working with being meek and self control because one thing for sure, when i’m right i make sure you know that i’m right - which is wrong lol but this season God is definitely working this with me.
It's really challenging with being faithful (especially when fasting and praying) but it's very easy to be kind loving and meekness. I love letting go of control, such a lighter burden and I listen intentionally and learn so much 🙂 thanks for the video. Winning team
I feel like has been growing all of them in me this year. I brought in New Year’s Day solo purposely because I felt lead to pray, do yoga and be alone with God. I wanted to grow spiritually this year. He is definitely giving me a major opportunities to grow as I handle some of the situations thrown my way lately.
Hi Melody, I am blessed to have found your channel, thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. 🙏🏽 I have to say that I struggle with a lot of these fruits but if I had to choose one that I was better at would be patience. Thinking back on who I was before I gave my life to the Lord, I did not have patience, I was very selfish and wanted everything when I wanted it. Forgive me Lord. The fruit that I currently struggle with is self control, the Lord knows that I fall daily to this fruit. That my flesh fails continuously. Thank God we have a gracefully Father. 🙏🏽💕 thank you so much for the content that you put out.
Thank you for this excellent summary of the fruits of the spirit. I’m seeing growth in all the fruits but really still struggling with self-control. I’m overweight and really having a difficult time controlling my eating. This is where my focus is and your posts on fasting and prayer are helping me to understand what I must do to grow in this area.
I think the one fruit I've seen grow in my life currently is peace and I love it so much. Just knowing that I don't have to be in control and God's got it. In the past few months I've also been seeing the patience grow a bit, especially with my family.
I feel like I had these a little more when I was younger. As I got older and ofc being influenced and what I have allowed in my life, I feel like I have lost these fruits ooor falsely using some. My mind feels either scattered or blank. I’m trying my best not to compare my journey or who I am with God to others. Sometimes I want to delete everything and start over. I feel like there is something blocking me from truly letting go and trusting in God, I want to what it is. Sometimes I feel like I know but can’t put my finger on it. One day it’s GOD HELP ME then others are like GOD I CAN DO IT, DONT TOUCH Lol smh But I will listen to this vid again and take notes. Pray for me. 💯
I would say the fruit of the spirit I am good at is Goodness God has blessed me with more than enough so the least I can do to thank Him is to give I'm struggling with meekness because just like you said I always want to be right, I have these tendency to try to impress people rather than please God and I can try to take the control panel out of God's hands into my own powerless hands but thanks to the Holy Spirit who's constantly abiding in me and showing me the way. Thank you Lord. Thank you Melody❤️
God bless you and thank you for sharing this breakdown of Galatians 5:22-23, I am definitely working on every aspect as the Lord continue to work in my heart. The days were I place my complete faith in the Lord and stop trying to be in control all the time is when I see each aspect of the fruit of the Spirit being strengthened. It's about obedience and dying to self daily/ taking up your cross. John 3:16-18 KJV ❤ 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Love and kindness is more my thing meekness and self control im still a work in progress but if I can't help I absolutely won't hurt.Peace I felt at one point in my life I felt like I lost it once I started stressing but im slowly making my way back with the help of God❤❤
For me I’d say I’ve grown in patience, and I’m still working on it! I would like to practice having more peace. In this world of chaos, peace is necessary and like a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing!
11:47 ♥️ the thinking moment this gave me. Ever since i was young i remember hearing the phrase "the meek shall inherit the earth" - i always associated it with humility. Your take is interesting to me because i feel like people often confuse being humble with weak- i think even myself in some instances. The distinction between the two is an underrated conversation for sure!
Love and kindness is natural for me but I have been struggling with the patience / long suffering , I am fasting specifically for that . But I see God working in me everyday, thank u Jesus
i have asking God for patience and love plus self control alot i does get mad really fast learning to have that self control in my life with anger and my words using God word to help me apply them step by step everyday.
Self-control is more challenging, especially when it comes to my diet. I now have a new understanding of patience. Kindness and joy come easy for me. Thanks for sharing this video.
Kindness is something I definitely find myself growing into. But patience and meekness is somewhere I see I need to work on next. My husband and my son are my real lessons on patience
For me : I’ve grown in my Joy. I thank GOD because Now I don’t allow bad thoughts steal my joy 🎉 But I have to grow in Self-Control and Patience 😅 A question : Is consistency a fruit of the Spirit ? I need this attitude ❤
Hey Melody, I believe kindness comes the easiest to me to exhibit in my behavior. I have a hard time with Self-Control when it comes to food choices. I also think I have patience as well. I pray for peace and the other fruits I could use work on. I am praying that God helps me to bring out all 9 fruits of the spirit in myself so that I may be pleasing in His eyes. In Jesus name, Amen.
Hey sis!! Today’s question is easy: which of these 9 fruits of the spirit have you seen yourself grow in and which one do you feel like you’ve still got some ways to go? 👀😂💗

I just did that too. I read Daniel's prophecy when I opened up the Holy Scripture, and I am changed. God is Good. Jesus is King of Peace.

The one that is easy for me is kindness. I struggle with self control and meekness.
self-control in social settings is my biggest struggle! pray for me family
I think the fruit of the spirit that is strongest within me is kindness. I think the most challenging is faithfulness.
Love this. Thank you for sharing sis! 🤍🤍

Thank you for this. God is working with me on my patience. When I don't see what I'm praying for I start to think what am I doing wrong ... instead of trusting in God's timing. God is so faithful and loving it's nothing but the devil trying to make me doubt. I fail daily. But I won't give up or give in to the devil. I'm so thankful God is so patient and never gives up on me. Glory to God❤
And another thing 😅. I was praying through the fruit of faithfulness yesterday. As a returned Prodigal verses on God calling us to be faithful have terrified me. But yesterday God called me to remember that faithfulness is His work in me and He told me to look up verses on His faithfulness so that I might build myself up in my most holy faith through His Promises to me. Wow!! It was incredible what that did. Satan was accusing me, but when I took my fear to God, He turned the accusations into a gift- as He turned my focus to feeding on His faithfulness and it's then I began to see how very present His faithfulness is in me and how it's been growing too.
This hit different at those late night hours when you feeling lost. Thanks for the video 🙌🏾
In conclussion, you are on the right path if you feel in love with the things that you do and you feel comfortable and you do not feel confused
Meekness definition 🔥
Wow what a gem, it’s really great to see you growing in salvation. Thank you ❤️🙏🏽
🤍🙌🏾 slowly but surely!
love comes easy to me but patience is still a work in progress
So we’ll explained Lord continue to pour your wisdom into Melody to help spread your goodness to your people. Lord bless her in all areas of her life for she has been obedient and faithful in giving your wisdom. Amen ! Thank you Jesus I am so touched and so grateful for all the lessons you speak about just in the right times. I love your channel
What I got down ❤is faithfulness.
Currently growing🌱 in is Peace and Joy.
Under construction⛑️ for me is patience and self control.
My strongest would have to be kindness and self-control. I'm still working on meekness!
I feel as if God has been showing me how to love in different ways in this overall season, but He has also been trying to grow me in patience: patience with myself, with prayers, with my peers. And that even ties into my self control because I’ve been really learning and growing in my self control in boundaries and in other things as well.
It’s been hard trying to navigate those things He’s trying work with me on and college life. It’s exhausting but I refuse to give up😤
Such a beautiful video! Thank you 💐🤍. For me the areas That come natural is love, joy and kindness . I still working on Patience and self control
I think for me kindness comes very easily
But I really used to struggle with being patient at times, it's getting better though
And I thank God for that🥳
Heyy, the one fruit i am doing amazing with is kindness and the one i am needing work in is meekness. ❤
I've definitely been growing in my faithfulness. I have been drawing near to God and feel that he is drawing near to me. I'm so thankful for how the Lord has been present in my life this season and feel that my faith is being strengthened and renewed so that I can glorify Him. 🙌🏽💗
Would definitely say I am growing through having that self control in many aspects of my life. I can say I am find ease in my spiritual life of having the fruit of peace. I had a disappointment in my life take place earlier this week and although I was upset I was able to muster up some peace that in due time/ God’s timing that that desire will come to fruition. I had the mindset that yesterday’s problems and disappointments were yesterday’s problems and disappointments. Would say my faith in Jesus is expanding
I feel like I overflow with love and kindness. But I feel like my patience and faithfulness (especially when it comes to being patient with myself and keeping my word to myself) I need a lot of tending to in those areas
Kindness is easy. Being a woman of my word and dying to my flesh has been challenging but I am more than a conqueror

It's the meekness for me, when you defined it I smiled, I'm getting there
Meekness! I have seen the Holy Spirit completely transform me in this area…I never knew how to explain it but you explained it perfectly! While to the world it is seen as weakness, it’s a quiet strength in the Lord 🙌
Your calmness, genuineness and bible knowledge is amazing 😊I had to subscribe.❤✝️🙏🏻
Hi! Love and Kindness come easiest to me. Patience is definitely the hardest but God has been ironing this out in me.
Now for me it’s Peace definitely, Patience and Meekness.. sadly even as a young christian I had no peace, I grew up in an angry and hostile home so I was taught to act like that, in the past few years the Lord has changed me and is really developing me in the fruits of the spirit, I’m not perfect in any of them yet, but Praise the Lord in each one I’m far better than I was years ago.. but Peace, patience and meekness has become my strongest so far.
Keep working in me/ us Lord ❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you Jesus ♥️ Amen
For me what comes naturally is love, kindness but I’m working on my patience and gentleness. I started praying over the fruits of the spirit last week so your video was confirmation ❤
Thank you for another great video.
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
GIRL this video called me out I struggle with meekness self control love joy and peace oops Jesus
I have to grow in kindness and self-control. If anyone reads this I ask for prayer. These two are really hard for me and I feel like giving up even though I don’t want to. I ask you pray for spiritual stamina on my behalf. Thank you 🙏🏾
That provocation and restraint! Lord, have mercy!
RIGHT! lol
Most can be challenging for me sometimes. But they show up in different ways. ❤️❤️❤️ Loved this
Thank you so much Melody. This is so timely for me as iam going through a season of refinement. Your videos have become a daily beacon of hope for me. GOD BLESD YOU❤
The Greek Word is Pronounced" haraa", Joy ", written " xapa" in Greek.. God Bless you for letting us learn Together Kind Regards
My greatest struggle is always how others can believe God for their wildest dreams and jump off the cliff and when I consider jumping, I get shut down and then feel stuck where I am.
I have been faced with a desire to move cross country, it first rose a few years ago so I could write professionally for tv. But the numbers as far as living didn’t make sense, they still don’t but I want to go just to see what happens. Why do I have so much doubt if any other time God has moved me and I had doubt He still provided for me regardless. I’m not comparing me to them, I just wonder what I am doing wrong that Im not hearing Him as clearly.
I was crying a minute ago cause that's exactly how I feel. Sometimes I feel like He enjoys seeing me struggle and being stuck...this feeling so confusing.
I just pray He helps me cause I'm confused
Patient is one I’m getting better at not so much with love
I am definitely growing through self control....
Thank you for this video..
I believe I’ve grown in kindness and love. But i struggle with patience and self-control. I’m getting better with reducing my quick temper or irritation for others but i know i have a long way to go
Hi Melody, you are right that change takes time especially the fruits of the spirit….. the part of love got me because GOD HAS been helping me love even before offences comes. The Grace to forgive and let go is now becoming more easy for me to do than always wanting to have my own way.
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
i’m definitely working with being meek and self control because one thing for sure, when i’m right i make sure you know that i’m right - which is wrong lol
but this season God is definitely working this with me.
Me too girl , working on it with Jesus

It's really challenging with being faithful (especially when fasting and praying) but it's very easy to be kind loving and meekness. I love letting go of control, such a lighter burden and I listen intentionally and learn so much 🙂 thanks for the video. Winning team
It would be so beautiful if you made a video of each fruit going more into depth about it, as well as the bible verses that describes it🥺
I feel like has been growing all of them in me this year. I brought in New Year’s Day solo purposely because I felt lead to pray, do yoga and be alone with God. I wanted to grow spiritually this year. He is definitely giving me a major opportunities to grow as I handle some of the situations thrown my way lately.

Hi Melody, I am blessed to have found your channel, thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus. 🙏🏽
I have to say that I struggle with a lot of these fruits but if I had to choose one that I was better at would be patience. Thinking back on who I was before I gave my life to the Lord, I did not have patience, I was very selfish and wanted everything when I wanted it. Forgive me Lord.
The fruit that I currently struggle with is self control, the Lord knows that I fall daily to this fruit. That my flesh fails continuously. Thank God we have a gracefully Father. 🙏🏽💕 thank you so much for the content that you put out.
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
Thank you for this excellent summary of the fruits of the spirit. I’m seeing growth in all the fruits but really still struggling with self-control. I’m overweight and really having a difficult time controlling my eating. This is where my focus is and your posts on fasting and prayer are helping me to understand what I must do to grow in this area.
It’s the God talk 1st and then the ponytail swinging for me! Hair is the glory of the Lord and Melody has some hang time!
I am surprised about your pronunciation about Galicia, you said it very well 🥳
I think the one fruit I've seen grow in my life currently is peace and I love it so much. Just knowing that I don't have to be in control and God's got it. In the past few months I've also been seeing the patience grow a bit, especially with my family.
Wowwww I neeeded 2:31 this worddd about fruit not growing over night?!?!😅❤
I feel like I had these a little more when I was younger. As I got older and ofc being influenced and what I have allowed in my life, I feel like I have lost these fruits ooor falsely using some. My mind feels either scattered or blank. I’m trying my best not to compare my journey or who I am with God to others. Sometimes I want to delete everything and start over. I feel like there is something blocking me from truly letting go and trusting in God, I want to what it is. Sometimes I feel like I know but can’t put my finger on it. One day it’s GOD HELP ME then others are like GOD I CAN DO IT, DONT TOUCH Lol smh
But I will listen to this vid again and take notes.
Pray for me. 💯
I would say the fruit of the spirit I am good at is Goodness God has blessed me with more than enough so the least I can do to thank Him is to give
I'm struggling with meekness because just like you said I always want to be right, I have these tendency to try to impress people rather than please God and I can try to take the control panel out of God's hands into my own powerless hands but thanks to the Holy Spirit who's constantly abiding in me and showing me the way. Thank you Lord. Thank you Melody❤️

Patience; still working on love
God bless you and thank you for sharing this breakdown of Galatians 5:22-23, I am definitely working on every aspect as the Lord continue to work in my heart. The days were I place my complete faith in the Lord and stop trying to be in control all the time is when I see each aspect of the fruit of the Spirit being strengthened. It's about obedience and dying to self daily/ taking up your cross.
John 3:16-18 KJV ❤
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Currently going through hard time with patience I want certain things to happen now but I know it a process also it is timing
yesss, fruit takes time!! be encouraged sis
Love and kindness is more my thing meekness and self control im still a work in progress but if I can't help I absolutely won't hurt.Peace I felt at one point in my life I felt like I lost it once I started stressing but im slowly making my way back with the help of God❤❤
powerful video
I’m struggling with obedience though I’d regret decisions later I once got sick because of this and it scares me God is not to mess with
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)=
I have been able to practice kindness more easily since following Jesus, I am still working on Meekness and Self control ❤️
For me I’d say I’ve grown in patience, and I’m still working on it! I would like to practice having more peace. In this world of chaos, peace is necessary and like a breath of fresh air! Thank you for sharing!
11:47 ♥️ the thinking moment this gave me.
Ever since i was young i remember hearing the phrase "the meek shall inherit the earth" - i always associated it with humility. Your take is interesting to me because i feel like people often confuse being humble with weak- i think even myself in some instances. The distinction between the two is an underrated conversation for sure!
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
Love and kindness, I give in too much. That I'm also learning to leave some love to myself
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)=
Love and kindness is natural for me but I have been struggling with the patience / long suffering , I am fasting specifically for that . But I see God working in me everyday, thank u Jesus
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
Loving others and peace knowing GOD is gonna get me through and stuff that I need help with is meekness and idk the way my mind thinks sometimes
New drop
Exciteddd❤😍
🙌🏾🙌🏾🤍🤍
i have asking God for patience and love plus self control alot i does get mad really fast learning to have that self control in my life with anger and my words using God word to help me apply them step by step everyday.
My patience and self control is growing and getting better by the day. Thank you for this video, may God Bless you.
Self-control is more challenging, especially when it comes to my diet. I now have a new understanding of patience. Kindness and joy come easy for me. Thanks for sharing this video.
Kindness is something I definitely find myself growing into. But patience and meekness is somewhere I see I need to work on next. My husband and my son are my real lessons on patience
Encounter Ministries TH-cam channel. (Mark Hemans)/
For me : I’ve grown in my Joy. I thank GOD because Now I don’t allow bad thoughts steal my joy 🎉
But I have to grow in Self-Control and Patience 😅
A question : Is consistency a fruit of the Spirit ? I need this attitude ❤
Hey Melody, I believe kindness comes the easiest to me to exhibit in my behavior. I have a hard time with Self-Control when it comes to food choices. I also think I have patience as well. I pray for peace and the other fruits I could use work on. I am praying that God helps me to bring out all 9 fruits of the spirit in myself so that I may be pleasing in His eyes. In Jesus name, Amen.
