JEHOVAH inspired the apostle Paul to write about nine qualities that result from the action of the holy spirit.  (Galatians 5:22, 23) Together, these qualities  are called "the fruitage of the spirit."  This fruitage is also part of "the new personality"  that Christians must put on. (Colossians 3:10) Just as a tree will produce fruit when it is watered properly, a person will have these beautiful qualities when holy spirit flows freely in his life. -Psalm 1:1-3. 

The first quality that Paul listed is love. How precious is this quality?  Paul said that without love, he was "nothing."  (1 Corinthians 13:2)  But what is love, and how can we develop it and show it every day?
