You can tell the state of your soul by the fruits you have. Not your acts or your donations or even the time you spend with God. But by how much joy you have, by your hope for the future, by the love in your heart, the self control, your gentleness, your peace, your kindness, your patience, the goodness inside of you, and your faithfulness. How much of those things do you have regularly? That's what brings glory to God, it's what the purpose of our lives should be. Yet I don't usually focus on the fruits of the spirit, I focus on reading the Bible and praying although often not with the right mind set at all. You can't read the Bible half asleep and pray quickly and get the same result as when you sit down and think about what you're reading or pray the way you should. My focus should really be on just being with God and living out His will, the best thing you can follow. The fruits of the spirit only come through living life His way and having a relationship with Him. And when we do that then we start seeing the fruits of the spirit in our lives and then we start to really bring glory to God.
