I love doves because they represent the Holy Spirit. When God the Son — Jesus — was baptized, God the Holy Spirit came on Him like a dove, and God the Father spoke: “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:16-17)
The Practicality of the Fruit of the Spirit
Confrontation without communication causes conflict. Before you criticize people compassionately listen to them. Hear where they are hurting and then speak the truth in love. (Ephesians 4:15) Express the firmness of truth with gentleness, kindness, and self-control, instead of with harsh words. (Proverbs 15:1) If you’re patient with people, you can calm a quarrel (Proverbs 15:8) by faithfully demonstrating (1 Corinthians 2:4-5) God’s goodness, peace, and joy. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)
