Fruits of the Spirit Bible Study Journal
This journal is designed to help you grow in your relationship with God by focusing on each fruit of the Spirit. Take time to read, reflect, and pray through each section — allowing the Holy Spirit to work within you.
Observation: Use this section to write down what you observed in the scriptures. What stood out to you?
Interpretation: This section dives deeper into what the scriptures mean. Take time to reflect on each one.
Application: How will you apply what you learned going forward?
Prayer: Take time to reflect and then write down a prayer. I encourage you to read it out loud.
Each fruit of the spirit is represented by a specific fruit. Here are what they are and why I decided to use them.
1. Love — Strawberry 🍓
* Strawberries are heart-shaped and often symbolize love and affection.
* They’re sweet, bright, and often shared — much like love, which is outwardly shown and shared with others.
2. Joy — Pineapple 🍍
* Pineapples have a bright, tropical vibe — they bring to mind celebration, warmth, and happiness.
* Joy is something that stands out and spreads, just like the pineapple’s unique, cheerful appearance.
3. Peace — Pear 🍐
* Pears are smooth, soft, and gentle in flavor.
* Their balanced, calming nature fits the idea of peace — not loud or showy, but quiet and steady.
4. Patience — Banana 🍌
* Bananas take time to ripen — if you rush, you get a bitter or too-hard fruit.
* It’s a perfect symbol for patience: good things take time, and you have to wait for the right moment.
5. Kindness — Mango 🥭
* Mangos are rich, sweet, and satisfying — they’re often shared with others in warm, welcoming cultures.
* Kindness, like mango, makes life sweeter and is best when shared generously.
6. Goodness — Apple 🍎
* Apples are classic symbols of wholesomeness and goodness (think: “an apple a day…”).
* They represent integrity and the idea of something being good through and through.
7. Faithfulness — Grapes 🍇
* Grapes grow in clusters — they stay together, representing loyalty and commitment.
* They also symbolize faithfulness over time, as vineyards require consistent care and endurance.
8. Gentleness — Peach 🍑
* Peaches have soft skin and a tender inside — gentle to the touch and sweet in taste.
* Gentleness, like a peach, is about strength wrapped in softness.
9. Self-Control — Lemon 🍋
* Lemons are strong and sour — you have to control your reaction to their intensity.
* They also symbolize cleansing and discipline — using something sharp in a balanced way, like self-control in life.
