The result or the work of the Spirit in a believer’s life is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. The Greek word καρπός that we translate “fruit” usually means fruit in the sense of edible fruits and vegetables, but it can also be translated as offspring, deed, action, result, or profit. In an agrarian society, fruit is a good thing; it is the result of hard work and careful tending.  

While it’s important to nurture your body and mind, it’s equally important that you make time to nurture your spirit. They all connect, and they feed into your health and wholeness. You can’t achieve optimal health unless you balance all three of these areas. The nonphysical aspects of spirituality can make it feel as if it is a remote practice, separate from the rest of your life. But this isn’t true—spirituality, just like the other aspects of wellbeing, is profoundly influenced by other factors in your lifestyle.

A lot of things bring about a person’s inability to be patient. We live in a society where, thanks to smart phones and online shopping, we have constant access to same-day delivery and immediate answers. How do you manifest your dreams, goals, and desires in the midst of unwelcome stressors? 

The importance of the past is that the events of our past shape us. They influence who we are today.

Reaching your goals becomes a certainty once you learn how to overcome any obstacles. Get in the habit of using these strategies each day and you'll soon find that overcoming challenges is a breeze!
