In a world full of fake smiles, quick tempers, and shallow love, we are all producing something. Every word, every choice, every action plants a seed in someone else’s life—either life-giving or toxic. And everywhere we look, we see the results of a world disconnected from God: anger boiling over, families fracturing, violence becoming routine, and hearts growing numb.

But what if that isn’t the only option? What if God’s Spirit could grow something different in us—something that doesn’t match the chaos around us? Love when hate is easier. Joy when life is heavy. Peace in the middle of the storm. Patience when everyone else snaps. A kind of strength and goodness that isn’t manufactured by willpower, but produced by the Spirit of God working within us.

That’s the tension. Left unchecked, rot will take over. But if something greater takes root, it could change everything—not just in you, but in your family, your relationships, even your city. The question for you is… which fruit is growing?
