A Devotional for Harvesting God-Given Spiritual Fruits
As Christians, we long for a spiritually fruitful life. However, our attempts to work more and hustle harder only leave us feeling weary and worn. Thankfully, God’s word supplies the nourishment we so desperately need. As we abide in Jesus, he fills our emptiness with an abundant crop of spiritual fruit.
Through the trusted voices of several female bestselling authors, editors, and Bible teachers, this 40-day devotional explores each of the 9 fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5. Every daily reading includes a related verse to ponder, a theologically rich reflection, additional Bible passages to read, and a prayer. This short format provides readers with an easy-to-use devotional resource, filled with substantial biblical counsel for harvesting God-given spiritual fruit.

“Everyone wants to be a better person. But how do we grow? Fruitful is an accessible and helpful walk through the fruit of the Spirit, reminding us that self-help won’t save us or grow us. Through rooting us in Scripture, guided prayers, reflection questions, and even fun recipes, we see that the slow plod of abiding in the vine is the path toward fruitful living.”
Courtney Reissig, author, Teach Me to Feel: Worshiping through the Psalms in Every Season of Life
“In a world full of emptiness, we need a better, more lasting pursuit. This is the promise of Christ who brings forth within God’s people all the fruitfulness of his Holy Spirit—a gift we both receive and cultivate by faith. Fruitful has helped me pursue such a spiritual harvest with its short meditations on God’s word, thought-provoking reflections, and written prayers. I highly recommend it to you.”
