Spiritual Fruit Salad: Relationship with God

God's character is revealed in Scripture especially by the Fruits of the Spirit in Gal. 5:22-23. Since we, are created in the image and likeness of God, we also need to have these 'fruits' in our lives. But fruits need to be grown. God, the master gardener, plants them in us, shows us how wonderful they are in Him, and works to help each one grow in our lives. As we pursue our relationship with Him through prayer, He teaches, cultivates, and delights in the fruit as it develops. And as we become more like Him, We have a more intimate friendship with Him that is meant to last through eternity.
