I'd have to say "Long Suffering". I'm a whimp.

Faith. I just don't have that "thing" in my head that lets people "feel" the supernatural and deities.

If it can't be observed or measured, then I don't believe it.

Peace, Mildness

These two.

As for piece.....I'd like to get a litte

.....OK....I'm kiddin

I find it hard to have inner peace as I'm a worry-er. I'm way too tense and can't relax enough to be peaceful. I keep peace in all my relations and get along well with others........but I'm not at ease inside. I still have family in the borg and so I am shunned by many within it. It's hard to have peace when you cann't see your own grandchildren, or have a relationship with your own daughter.

Mildness.......I'm a mild guy, but can't stay that way if someone hurts me or my friends. 'Biting the bullet' is hard.

Self-control -- what can I say? I'm italian!

It's a trick question, right?

If you have the Holy Spirit, they are "fruits" of that spirit, and hence spontanious to the degree that you encourage growth rather than "quenching" it.

This isn't to be confused with being "perfect" in these qualities, however.
I'm FAAAARRR from that!

i guess it could be a trick question if you look at it as one, i didn't mean it like that though, i just wondered which qualities were hardest.

for myself i can manage: long suffering, mildness & self control.

cannot seem to coherntly manage: love, joy, peace or faith.

grey areas are: kindness & goodness.

I can manage: long suffering
I can't coherently manage: self control (when I have to face bad face or lies) and it affects every other fruits

I am often impatient -- is that lack of self-control? or long-suffering?
