What if the Fruit of the Spirit isn't just about becoming more like Jesus, but about discovering how beautifully consistent God's heart has always been toward you?

Love never fails.+ Isaiah 61:2. To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn.+ James 1:2. Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials.+ Romans 8:38-39.
