Fruit of the Spirit

Hi kids,

Most of us really enjoy munching on a sweet, tasty fruit as dessert after our meals. Apart from being delicious, fruit also contains many vitamins. We see the effect of the Holy Spirit in us because He gives us the enthusiasm, wisdom and strength in every situation in our life. These are patience, love, joy, peace, kindness, generosity, faithfulness and self-control.
