Fruits of the Spirit

Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 [a]gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Let’s have some fun and pick some FRUIT as the spring season approaches

Depending on the spirit, I call for help
The spirit is Holy, the flesh for self

The spirit lives in me, alive and strong
It can’t be removed, or off and on

The fruit of the spirit, my soul is ripe
My roots are deep, fed by His light

Seeds are planted, a harvest in order
A thirsty soul, baptized in water

Time goes on, the fruit must grow
The flesh is fast, a blessing is slow

Sweet and tasty, plenty of options
Eat good fruit, before it gets rotten

The fruit of kindness, I’m going bananas
Polite with flavor, showing good manners

Sharing God’s character, truth with knowledge
Papayas, grapes, kiwi, and olives

A pear of reactions, I’m calm with peace
Support from the family, a fruitful feast

Be patient and wait, sitting on a pine
apple of my eye, my blessings on time


My good deeds shine, bright as a lemon
Jesus is love, my honeydew melon

Peachy persona, a spirit that’s dwelling
Sitting in the yard, eating watermelon

Cherry split dreams, preserving my fruit
Sometimes I fail, He waters the roots

Resting in His arms, gentle like a plum
Flavored cucumbers, I want to eat some

Taste from God’s grace, sweet with hearten
Planting His seeds, working in His garden

He shaped my soul, His love is faithful
Offering joy, with a peace of mango

The spirit is real, scriptures the proof
A servant of the Lord, known by His fruit

Prayer: Thank You Father for making it clear of the standards we are to live by daily. And choosing to work through us for others to see Your fruit. In fact, You have demonstrated these things to us to understand the experience of fruits of the spirit. We will be careful to give You all the glory in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen!
