When we follow Jesus, this verse tells us that God’s Spirit brings good things into our lives. We have more love, more joy, more patience, more kindness—and that’s just the beginning! But, in the same way a relationship takes time to grow, developing these qualities takes time. The more time you spend in your relationship with God, the more these qualities will come out in your life because of it. And when that happens? Your life and your relationships will be better for it! 

Which of these qualities do you want to see more of in your life? Have a conversation with a friend or trusted adult and tell them about it! Then, ask them to encourage you as you spend time with God to grow that quality.
