I just posted the following on a good friend's blog. Then I thought I might just like to post it here as well. So here you go:
Living the fruits of the spirit is definitely the key to influencing and blessing others. I actually discovered another "fruit of the spirit" passage the other day. We all know the one in Galatians; but did you know Colossians 3:12 is another great list - very similar to the Galatians verses when you put them side by side:
Galatians 5:22-23
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Colossians 3:12
As God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

It's so wonderful that God gives us the way to live and the way not to live. I try to teach the kids at church that all the time. If we read the Bible God will tell us, and Jesus will show us how to live. What to do and what not to do. God is so good, he didn't just leave it up to us to figure it out he laid a map out for us.
