Fruit of the Spirit

"For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth." Ephesians 5:9

I have always felt that when I have the Spirit I see clearly and feel love towards all. In other words I am "out of the box" and see the truth when I have the Spirit. When a person is "in the box" they are blinded by the confines of the box and have a limited view of what is really happening around them. One must be "out of the box" to see all things undistorted. The feelings of the heart are a key indicator of whether or not one is in the box. Feeling picked on, and that life is not fair are good clues that the box is blinding the truth. Feeling patient and at peace even though events are not perfect is a good indication that one is "out of the box". The crazy thing is that when we are "in the box" we often believe we have all the facts and know the truth. My caution is to examine oneself before jumping to conclusions that my hurt another.
