Jesus once told a story about "healthy" and "diseased" trees to help us get a better idea about the current state of our lives and also to point us toward God's desire for us to bear the fruit of the Spirit. The Fruit of The Spirit are not circumstantial or influenced by emotions; instead, they are the outcome of deep-rooted faith that can flourish regardless of our life situations. Joy differs from happiness; rather, it has its roots firmly planted in the certainty of our relationship with God, ensuring its existence even amid trials. Peace, is not just the absence of conflict. It indicates a state of completeness that arises when one is firmly rooted in the Holy Spirit—real peace results in reconciliation and unity. Active peacemakers, intervene in situations of conflict to restore what's broken.
