Probably the most memorable verses in Galatians are those list the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22-23). The fruit grows from planted seeds. Every Leader should embrace this marvelous list of inward qualities. Evaluate yourself against them.
1. Love
Is my leadership motivated by love for people? (1 Corinthians 16:14)
2. Joy
Do I exhibit an unshakable joy, regardless of life’s circumstances? (2 Corinthians 6:10)
3. Peace
Do people see my peace and take courage? (Acts 27:33-36)
4. Long Suffering
Do I wait patiently for results as I develop people or goals? (Acts 15:36-41)
5. Kindness
Am I caring and understanding toward everyone I meet? (1 Corinthians 4:14)
6. Goodness
Do I want the best for others and the organization? (Acts 27:9-11)
7. Faithfulness
Do I keep my commitments? (2 Timothy 4:7)
8. Gentleness
Is my strength under control? Can I be both tough and tender? (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8)
9. Self Control
Am I disciplined to make progress toward my goals? (Philippians 3:13)
