I would say love, but my love compared to God's love is nothing.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." -Romans 5:8

There is no greater love than the love of God.
 
I find it too hard to vote but i think love which is chanelled from God would probably help me with the rest.

Love is the most tangible for me but it encompasses all the other gifts to make it real :love:
 
I lack a lot of fruits of the Spirit, I am not ashamed to say it. If I had to choose one of those, I would say I have the gift of "faithfulness". Mostly, up to this day, I can say I have stayed faithful to God.

Let's pray and ask Jesus to give us more fruits, so He can prune them and take them for His Kingdom.

God bless
Much love

I voted 'peace'... It's great to have that inner peace that only god gives you. I'm so lucky to know that all things work together for my good too, and that no matter what, God is in control and he will bring me home.
 
I'm afraid I would have to ask someone what they see in me. I fear that I would pick the worng one and maybe even pick my weakest one by stupidity.
 
I voted "peace". I have not had an easy time by earthly standards over the past few months, yet I manage to remain at peace in the knowledge that my life is in God's hands and He will direct me.
 
I just found this poll again and realized that I never actually voted lol. I chose joy because 99% of the time I am happy and it takes alot to take my joy away.

Dear sister,

God gives us that peace to enjoy happy times as well as times of struggle and pain. I voted for peace because I feel like worshipping God all the time.

God bless you.
 
Through ups and downs of life, in bad and in good times, and between life and death God's faithfulness has manifested in me since I have surrendered my soul to Him...Faithfulness has been my identity to my church, friends, family and community.
 
I vote self-control because as many circumstances come my way that are a challenge every day, my self control allows me to not react naturally but to then call on all the other fruits that I possess to react the way I should. I had a hard time choosing though.
 
I would say love and in some ways the others follow, because one can't love and not have the other fruits as well.

Although I must add that the other fruits doesn't come as easily as love, sometimes I must work at it, specially patience.
 
I've voted Peace. Through God's grace i've had great peace in many of the storms, thus this scripture makes so much sense to me:
"Peace i leave with you; my peace I GIVE you. I do not give to you as the world gives..do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid.":smiling-animated:
 
Kindness definitely.My whole life is revolved around kindness, it's all about kindness. I want to help even if this means sacrificing myself.

This can be harmful though...
 
I find it hard to vote because I disagree with the premise of "My Fruit".
I don't think that we are called to bear our fruit. As God says our fruits or "works" are like filthy rags.

Jesus said: "I am the vine and you are the branch, if you are in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit, with out me you can do nothing."

We are to bear Christ's fruits not ours!
I think the poll would better be stated: " what fruit is Christ bearing through you?"
 
I would have to say love is my strongest fruit,
since I'm always caring about my friends, and I
love all of them, and my family. I always do my
best to protect them. :heart5:
 
WE are under the LAWS of LOVE and FAITH!

Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Heb 12:14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.


Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.


Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law

Rom 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

1Jn 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

Rom 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
