Nine Fruits of the Spirit

(Galations 5:22)

Moving on from charity,
I looked at general characteristics of a Christian.
One important set are those used to describe the fruits of the Holy Spirit
working in a Christian's life.  
It would be reasonable to suppose
that some fruits would be more naturally shown in some personalities,
though one would hope to strive for a balance in them all.

As with most of the positive traits that I have examined,
they do seem to be equitably distributed over the personalities,
with one in the middle since there are nine fruits!
Self-control and gentleness are important for the doer;
patience and kindness are naturals for the compassionate observer;
 faithfulness and goodness could characterize the thinker;
and love and joy would express themselves most fully in the extrovert talker.

Peace could, I think, be the fruit best expressed by a balanced personality.
 Jesus was always talking about the peace that he would leave with us.
