“圣灵所结的果子就是仁爱，喜乐，和平，忍耐，恩慈，良善，信实，温柔，节制。这样的事没有律法禁止。”

加拉太书5:22-23

水果有许多不同的形状、大小、质地和口味。 世界各地的农民付出了巨大的努力，来种植和生产能够刺激我们的舌头并满足我们口欲的水果。 有些水果是圆形的，如橙子或蓝莓；有些布满绒毛，如桃子和猕猴桃；有些个头比较大，如木瓜和西瓜； 有些酸酸的，如蔓越莓；有些甜甜的，如芒果。 种植水果并非易事。 我们通常只是去当地的食品店或市场，以合理的价格购买我们喜欢的任何水果。 然而，为了我们的享受，农民却背负着种植和培育水果的艰巨任务。

《圣经》谈到另一种果子，不是在市场上买到的，也不是在果园或农场种植的。 在加拉太书中，使徒保罗用果子来表明当我们被耶稣的灵充满时，我们将会发生的改变。 圣灵的果子是——仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔和节制。这些都是当我们心中被耶稣的灵充满时所培养的美德。 也是当我们与耶稣建立关系并让祂的灵进入并充满我们的结果。 我们期望一棵苹果树会结出苹果，而一棵橘子树会结出橘子。 同样，我们也期望基督的门徒被圣灵充满，结出仁爱、喜乐、和平、忍耐、恩慈、良善、信实、温柔和节制的果子。

在这个家庭团聚祈祷周期间，我们渴望每一位丈夫和妻子、每一位父亲和母亲、每一个爱耶稣的家庭和个人，在他们每天的生活中结出圣灵的果子。 撰写此书时考虑到了整个家庭。 每一天的内容都由三部分组成：阅读、祈祷和活动。 在阅读中，您将了解来自世界各地不同的水果，您还将了解圣灵的果子。 每天都有祈祷的部分，强调当天的圣灵果子。 您可以全家一起祈祷，祈求上帝那天在您的心中和您的家中培育这种果子。 您还可以与家人一起进行互动活动，以加强学习并让所有家庭成员参与敬拜。

我们鼓励每个家庭成员，通过每天背诵和练习来记住加拉太书 5:22-23，同时强调当天的属灵果子。 我们提供了一些活动来帮助您记住经文，以便在本周末您可以将这段经文记在您的脑中和心里。 我们希望您的每个家庭成员，都能让上帝的灵在他们身上结出圣灵的果子，在他们勤奋浇水、除草，并参与时，让“灵果”在他们的生活中成为现实。

Living Fruitful Love

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”

Galatians 5:22, 23

Fruit comes in many different shapes, sizes, textures, and tastes. Farmers from around the world make great efforts to grow and produce fruit that will tickle our tongues and satisfy our tastebuds. Some fruits are round like oranges or blueberries. Some are fuzzy like peaches and kiwi. Some are large like papaya and watermelon. And some are tart like cranberries or sweet like mangoes. Producing fruit is no easy task. Many of us simply go to the local grocery store or market and pick up whatever fruit we like for a reasonable price. However, farmers have the difficult task of planting, nurturing, and cultivating the fruit we get to enjoy.

The Bible speaks about another kind of fruit that is not bought at the market or cultivated at the orchard or farm. In the book of Galatians, the Apostle Paul uses fruit to show what will happen to us when we choose to be filled with the Spirit of Jesus. The fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are virtues that are cultivated when we are filled with the Spirit of Jesus in our hearts. It is the result of having a relationship with Jesus and allowing His Spirit to flow in us and through us. We expect that an apple tree will bear apples, and an orange tree will yield oranges. In much the same way, we expect disciples of Christ to be filled with the Spirit and produce the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

During this Family Togetherness Week of Prayer, our desire is for every husband and wife, every father and mother, every family and person that loves Jesus to produce the fruit of the Spirit in their lives each day. This resource has been created with the entire family in mind. Each day has three parts: a reading, a prayer, and an activity. In the reading, you will learn about a different fruit from around the world and you will also learn about the Fruit of the Spirit. Each day there is a prayer emphasizing the fruit of the spirit for that day. You can pray this prayer together as a family asking God to cultivate that fruit in your hearts and in your homes that day. There is also an interactive activity that you can do with your family to reinforce learning and get all family members involved in worship.

We encourage every member of the family to memorize Galatians 5:22, 23 by reciting and practicing it each day, while emphasizing the spiritual fruit of the day. We have included activities to help you with memorizing the text so that by the end of the week you will have stored this text in your brain and in your heart. We hope every member of your family will allow the Spirit of God to grow His fruit in them as they diligently water, weed, and participate in providing the conditions that will allow this to become a reality in their lives.
