Gal 5:22-24
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
NIV
A fruit is product of the process of growth a seed that has been planted undergoes.
This new righteous nature you have is a result of the Holy Spirit who now lives within you and renews your mind by teaching you the words of Christ.
If you have observed that the fruit of the spirit is not manifested in your life the way it should, do not be discouraged instead set your heart on God. God has made the grace available for you to live a victorious Christian life in this world, plug into this grace by trusting in Him and consciously apportioning time to do the things that enhance your faith. God has also made all blessings available for you so you can serve Him without struggle (walk with this consciousness). All you need to do is to depend on His grace and His power within you (the Holy Spirit) and stop depending on your will to produce the fruit of the Spirit. Submit yourself totally to the government of the Holy Spirit to let His grace manifest in your life.
Just like a fruit is proof of the maturity of a tree or plant, the fruit of the Spirit you bear is proof of your spiritual maturity, and this maturity produces spiritual power and authority. God’s plan for you is that you walk in this authority every day.
Go into today knowing that you have the God given ability to express His nature. You are a child of God.
Prayer: Lord I thank you for your word. Please give me the grace to bear the fruit of the Spirit today and every day. Amen
