Hey sis!! Todayâs question is easy: which of these 9 fruits of the spirit have you seen yourself grow in and which one do you feel like youâve still got some ways to go? đđđ
For me: Iâve definitely grown in my patience !! Like the transformation God has done in my life in this area is amazing. & the one Iâm 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 itâs ever been but Iâm having fear because we canât figure out whatâs going on. Its hard to know what to fix in our body if we donât know whatâs going on. Itâs something in my autonomic nervous system thatâs being affected and we canât understand why. Please be in prayer đ for me. Iâd really appreciate it. Where 2 or more are gathered He is with us.
Matt. 18:20. †I know Heâs 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!
Iâve grown in gentleness I was an affectionate person so Iâm learning to be more gentle, Iâm still having issues with patience because my irritation level is high but Iâm 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.đŹ
Mine is definitely patience heâs growing my patience through my son who was born with Down syndrome trisomy 21 heâs 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 itâs amazing to understand and know that God is in control and we need to have faith that his ways are better then ours .
Whoever reading this, God knows what you are facing through, he heard your cry, He is going to deliver you. Just trust in him. Amen đđ
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Itâs the peace for me and I absolutely love it đ„°, 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 amazingâïž love this video and your content be blessed đ
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.

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
AmĂšne
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.
Hearing is one thing and then obeying is whole other! I love this for you!! God is good!!
this is a whole new video topic ! I needed this !
@@jenznailspa7939 we all did and still need to keep coming back to it as reminder to keep up.

Hey, girl I donât usually participate but Iâm starting todayđ.
Got it down: PATIENCE â€
Growing đ±currently: PEACE
Under Construction real bad đ : SELF-CONTROL
** I really appreciate your videos â€they are a beautiful guide for my current journey. Praise GOD đ
Youâve got this! â€

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.
Same. Praying for you đâ€
I definitely grown with my patience, peace & love! I need to work on having more joy in my everyday life! Iâm a female college athlete (track and field) and I didnât start to enjoy my sport until currently my junior year with the help of the Lord. Iâm 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 Iâm glad you posted this, Iâve 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. Iâll be posting your video in our group me so they can see weâre on the same path.
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"
One fruit of the Spirit Iâve grown in is patience. I was once really impatient, but now since Iâve 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 âwait on meâ đ
đ we be ready, always on go
For me whatâs 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
Imma be honest. I struggle with selfishness. Self desires, self comfort, self image, you name it.

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 Sisđ€đ€
Encounter Ministries CZcams channel. (Mark Hemans)/
iâm definitely working with being meek and self control because one thing for sure, when iâm right i make sure you know that iâm right - which is wrong lol
but this season God is definitely working this with me.
Me too girl , working on it with Jesus
@@tammyg8659 Encounter Ministries CZcams channel. (Mark Hemans)/
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.
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.

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.
Peace is the one, and I donât want it to Stop Jesus, Joy of just thinking about my Father sometimes Iâm not going anywhere, the joy of getting up and praising Jesus And when it comes to praise it brings this unexplainable joy and itâs doing something I canât describe to my spirit đ
itâs truly hard for me to show patience , I be trying so hard but itâs a little more complicated than I thought but I believe God changes heart so I trust Him with this ! Iâve 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.
Encounter Ministries CZcams channel. (Mark Hemans)/
Gentleness and joy are my strongest fruits. Meekness is probably my weakest fruit.
This hit different at those late night hours when you feeling lost. Thanks for the video đđŸ
đđ»đđ»đ± so good let us be rooted in Christ are bare His fruit to feed the poor in spirit in Jesus name Amen đđ»
Wow what a gem, itâs really great to see you growing in salvation. Thank you â€ïžđđœ
đ€đđŸ slowly but surely!
Love this video! đđŸâ€ïžâ€ïž
That took patience to a whole another level, how you wait. Love it and needed to hear that. Thank you
Thank you for this đđđ
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 wasnât so short but Iâm trying to work on that
Itâs joy , Iâve been a smiley and bubbly person my whole life . Iâm quite patient and all BUT MEEKNESS lord help me . Iâm a real show off , I pray against it đđœ
I love this. Subscribed!
So Refreshing â€đđ Thank you Melody ! Stay Blessed đŻ
So beautiful â€ïž the way you described Kindness reminded me of Ruth â€ïž
Thank you & Jesus for this Melody. I needed this. Also realising how pretty your name is
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! đ€đ€
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 thatđ„ł
Love this god bless đđŸ
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 Iâve been really learning and growing in my self control in boundaries and in other things as well.
Itâs been hard trying to navigate those things Heâs trying work with me on and college life. Itâs exhausting but I refuse to give upđ€
Love this! You rocked it!
Perfect timing, thank you!
I love this! Thanks â€đ
Peace and peace and peace and peace and peace.
Ok . I really needed that breakdown of what joy was because itâs been an interesting concept to grasp for me . Thank you for this video .
This was great! Thank you đđœ
And another thing đ . 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.
My patience and self control is growing and getting better by the day. Thank you for this video, may God Bless you.
Amen! Sister this was amazing. Such a blessing to learn from you. I had never read or broken the fruit of the Spirit like this before. And the part about fruit rotting, so profound. I feel like I always get stuck on fruits I didn't even think about it like that. May the Lord bless you.
This video was on time â€
Thank youđđŒ
I love your videos!!
đthank you I loved this video and your explanations
Your calmness, genuineness and bible knowledge is amazing đI had to subscribe.â€âïžđđ»
So helpful, thank you
Great job
What I got down â€is faithfulness.
Currently growingđ± in is Peace and Joy.
Under constructionâïž for me is patience and self control.
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. đđœđ
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/ Godâs timing that that desire will come to fruition. I had the mindset that yesterdayâs problems and disappointments were yesterdayâs problems and disappointments. Would say my faith in Jesus is expanding
Thanks girl
Thank you sis I would say for me, I'm definitely display gentleness. The fruit of the spirit that I want to work on is peace just fully trusting in God so that way I can be filled and not be worried. đđŒ
â€â€â€this is exactly how Iâm feeling
Great definition of meekness!
Having faith! I always look at my bad situations or season as reasoning for a up bring through GOD! Iâm starting and trying to rejoice more in these situations but amazing video! God bless
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 đ thanks for the video. Winning team
powerful video
Hey Hey ! I just checked your channel out today an I really enjoyed some of your videos! Iâve been learning about the fruit of the spirit & seeking knowledge because I believe I struggle in all⊠Goodness comes natural to me but it was revealed to me that my fruit was spoiled because I was not maintaining my fruit or being dependent on God.
It's the meekness for me, when you defined it I smiled, I'm getting there
Meekness definition đ„
For me Iâd say Iâve grown in patience, and Iâm 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!
Itâs 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'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
Meekness! I have seen the Holy Spirit completely transform me in this areaâŠI never knew how to explain it but you explained it perfectly! While to the world it is seen as weakness, itâs a quiet strength in the Lord đ
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
Thabk you for sharing this truly helpful video God bless you and your family Melody đđ
I am definitely growing through self control....
Thank you for this video..
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 YOUâ€
The one that is easy for me is kindness. I struggle with self control and meekness.
Most can be challenging for me sometimes. But they show up in different ways. â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž Loved this
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.
Amazing video â€ïžâ€ïž
I believe Iâve grown in kindness and love. But i struggle with patience and self-control. Iâm getting better with reducing my quick temper or irritation for others but i know i have a long way to go

đđŸđđŸđ€đ€
I am surprised about your pronunciation about Galicia, you said it very well đ„ł
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.
This was excellent and came right on time for me.
I've come to realise just how important my peace is for me, I'm searching for joy and struggle with patience!!
Thank you!

For me what comes naturally is love, kindness but Iâm working on my patience and gentleness. I started praying over the fruits of the spirit last week so your video was confirmation â€
Thank you for another great video.
Encounter Ministries CZcams channel. (Mark Hemans)/
I have been able to practice kindness more easily since following Jesus, I am still working on Meekness and Self control â€ïž
Hi! Love and Kindness come easiest to me. Patience is definitely the hardest but God has been ironing this out in me.
I think that over the years my peace and joy have grown IMMENSELY through all the the trials and tribulations Iâve 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 đ©â€ïž
Just found ur channel. I love the sound of ur voice
THANKKKK YOUUU SO MUCHHHH sister i needed this video i love all your video it really help me in my walk in Christ. God bless you sis

Thank you for this excellent summary of the fruits of the spirit. Iâm seeing growth in all the fruits but really still struggling with self-control. Iâm 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.
Patience; still working on love
