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 .
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 🙏🙏
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
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 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
Amène
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.

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 🙏❤
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” 😂
😂 we be ready, always on go
Imma be honest. I struggle with selfishness. Self desires, self comfort, self image, you name it.
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
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"
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 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

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🤜🤛
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
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.
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
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 !
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
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.
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.

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 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 😇
Gentleness and joy are my strongest fruits. Meekness is probably my weakest fruit.
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! 🤍🤍
The one that is easy for me is kindness. I struggle with self control and meekness.
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 🙏🏽
Wow what a gem, it’s really great to see you growing in salvation. Thank you ❤️🙏🏽
🤍🙌🏾 slowly but surely!
This hit different at those late night hours when you feeling lost. Thanks for the video 🙌🏾
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😤
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 RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
self-control in social settings is my biggest struggle! pray for me family
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🥳
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.
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'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. 🙌🏽💗
Love this 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
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.

I love this! Thanks ❤😊
Love this god bless 🙏🏾
This was great! Thank you 🙏🏽
Perfect timing, thank you!
I love your videos!!
Peace and peace and peace and peace and peace.
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.
Ok . I really needed that breakdown of what joy was because it’s been an interesting concept to grasp for me . Thank you for this video .
Amazing video ❤️❤️
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 RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
My patience and self control is growing and getting better by the day. Thank you for this video, may God Bless you.
What I got down ❤is faithfulness.
Currently growing🌱 in is Peace and Joy.
Under construction⛑️ for me is patience and self control.
This video was on time ❤
Your calmness, genuineness and bible knowledge is amazing 😊I had to subscribe.❤✝️🙏🏻
So helpful, thank you
Siss- you're glowing!! 🤍
Aww you’re too sweet sis! Thank you!!!
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
Great job
Thank you🙏🏼
😊thank you I loved this video and your explanations
Great definition of meekness!
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 🙌
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
New drop
Exciteddd❤😍
🙌🏾🙌🏾🤍🤍
Hey Hey ! I just checked your channel out today an I really enjoyed some of your videos! I’ve 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.
Just found ur channel. I love the sound of ur voice
Thanks girl
Meekness definition 🔥
This was a great video and the sermon by Pastor Johnson was amazing! Thank you!
girl yes!! got me all the way together!
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
❤❤❤this is exactly how I’m feeling
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!

Thank you for this video..
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

It's the meekness for me, when you defined it I smiled, I'm getting there
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!
Most can be challenging for me sometimes. But they show up in different ways. ❤️❤️❤️ Loved this
That provocation and restraint! Lord, have mercy!
RIGHT! lol
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❤
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. 🙏🏼
Thabk you for sharing this truly helpful video God bless you and your family Melody 😊🙏
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'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
Easiest for me: goodness
Currently growing patience and more self control
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.

Patience; still working on love
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!
Always enjoy watching your videos!💕 I’ve been blessed to see each fruit of the spirit develop within myself throughout my walk with Jesus but I’d say the most challenging can be self-control at times. I have an immense amount of patience and peace that I thank God for because it keeps me sane in trying situations 😂🙌🏽
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
Having faith! I always look at my bad situations or season as reasoning for a up bring through GOD! I’m starting and trying to rejoice more in these situations but amazing video! God bless
This video was so helpful, Melody. Thank you! The Spirit led me to Galations today and these signs confirmed many things for me.
Encounter Ministries RUclips channel. (Mark Hemans)/
This whole video let me know I’m digressing vs growing in the Lord!
I am surprised about your pronunciation about Galicia, you said it very well 🥳
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.
