Name something that "squeezes" your FRUIT of The Spirit

[woman.at.the.well]

For instance . . .

I have trouble with "patience" in the grocery store (e.g. long lines, slow lines, etc.) How about you? What "tests/squeezes" your fruit.

Name the specific fruit (mentioned below) and how you have trouble with it. Maybe we could pray for each other that way!

Fruit = love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Patience...got squeezed today, when talking to a person about depression, I have no patience with pity parties....(except if I need it!) :o

gossip and backbiting...I hate it.

 

[Scottish Joy]

Gentleness for me.... I really need grace to be compassionate!! When I feel like somebody is overreacting, it bugs me... :o

I know God is working on me in this area though!!! Praise the Lord!!
And of course patience is another big one... do we ever really finish learning it???

 

[woman.at.the.well]

do we ever really finish learning it???

absolutely NOT! We are definetly all a work in progress. I am so thankful to Him for "working" on us. I am the clay, HE is the Potter for sure!

I'll keep all the posters in this thread in prayer! Here's to unsqueezed fruit LOL!

Hi Tangi!

Could you be more specific on why your "faith" fruit gets squeezed. Thank you and bless you!

 

[woman.at.the.well]

So I take it everyone has their fruit in order??? How about you? What squeezes your Fruit of The Spirit??

Still praying for those who need help! Blessings to you!

When my kids ignore or gang up on me, it "squeezes" every one of those fruits.

Those "not my child" parents... you know who they are (so do they)...

Squeezed Fruit: Patience, Peace, Joy

Looking for a job...

 

[hazeleyes80]

People who drive with no consideration for other drivers on the road (i.e. too fast, too slow, too drunk, too distracted, etc.).

 

[graceskr]

food - self-control

traffic - patience

 

[isaiah5213]

gosh: i could name something that sqeezes everyone of those fruits...

but self-control/self-discipline is the one that always needs the most work w/me...

a squeezer: lack of quiet times... not being disciplined to get up BEFORE my kiddos wake me up, so i can sneak some time in w/God.. i usually don't get that in till about 10-11....

Parents who let their children run their lives really squeezes my fruit.

 

[GaelSong]

trouble with work collegues- patience

 

[Hisbygrace]

rude people test my patience

 

[~Lady Trekki~]

Glad I'm not the only one who struggle with traffic and it's various irritations. Patience seems to be the fruit I most lack in my life. Though self control comes in for a close second. However, I'm learning! So there IS hope!!
