Well, hey friends, we are on the final episode of this series, this summer series, in the Fruit of the Spirit.

Welcome to the Ruth Joe Simon's podcast.

It's been so good to do the series together.

I hope you've grown.

I hope it's been a lovely way to just have a midweek reset week by week over the summer.

I think my heart for this series has been just that regardless of how our summer goes,

whether the vacation turned out perfect or all our plans fell through and things felt hard and long, that we can close out our summer,

refreshed, reminded that all that fruit that we want to see in our lives will not be produced

because we tried a little harder or we did a little bit more, but that we kept our eyes on Jesus,

that we looked to the Lord,

that we focused on the Word of God,

that we meditated on the Word of God,

that we remember that the Spirit is at work in the life of a believer,

and that he is the one producing the fruit we're longing for.

What is that fruit? What is it that we're longing for. What is that fruit?

What is it that we're longing for and hoping for in our lives?

Well, it's found in Galatians chapter 5, verse 22.

Let me read it for us one more time in this series.

But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and today's topic, self-control.

Against such thing, there is no law.
