Where Is The Fruit ~

If the fruit of the Spirit is love,
then where’s it in the church?
I see so many believers there,
leaving others in a lurch.

If the fruit of the Spirit is joy,
then where’s it in people’s life?
I see so many believers living,
in the misery of their strife.

If the fruit of the Spirit is peace,
then why is there so much conflict?
I see so many believers who gossip,
and on other’s their tales inflict.

If the fruit of the Spirit is longsuffering,
then where is all the patience?
I see so many believers who rather,
show frustration and impatience.

If the fruit of the Spirit is gentleness,
then where are those who are kind?
I see so many believers who only care,
about their own peace of mind.

If the fruit of the Spirit is goodness,
then where is the generosity?
I see so many believers who don’t know,
the meaning of true Christianity.

If the fruit of the Spirit is faith,
then why do we act like we have none?
I see so many believers who doubt,
all the things that God has done.

If the fruit of the Spirit is meekness,
then where is all the humbleness?
I see so many believers who aren’t living
with a heart of submissiveness.

If the fruit of the Spirit is temperance,
then where is the self-control?
I see so many believers without any,
and over other’s they steamroll.

If the fruit of the Spirit is of God,
why aren’t believers more sublime?
The last time I looked in the Bible,
to reap these fruits is no big crime!

No Rules Against ~

There are no rules against,
producing good fruit
there is no incarceration
for letting them take root.

For we are free to grow,
love, joy and peace
so having more patience
in us can increase.

There’s are no rules against,
the fruit of the Spirit
there’ll be no arrests made
or eternal demerits.

For we are unrestricted,
in showing others gentleness
as we are being guided
by the Spirit of His goodness.

There are no laws against,
faith and meekness growing
for it’s the only way our lives . . .
can be self-controlling!

Feeding The Spirit ~

When you feed the flesh,
to sin you’ll be a slave
for the things of the world
you will desire and crave.

You will partake in evil,
corrupted you will be
from the lusts of the flesh
you’ll never be set free.

When you feed the Spirit,
good fruit you’ll produce
and from the world’s hold
you’ll finally be let loose.

For when to the Spirit,
good things you generate
He will lead and guide you
straight to the narrow gate.

When you feed the flesh,
you will energize it . . .
to reap that which is not
of the Holy Spirit!

Where The Holy Spirit Dwells ~

Sometimes down inside,
I feel this warmth within . . .
coming from a place so deep
I can’t explain just wherein.

There’s a sense of peace,

it fills my heart with joy
till it flows with gladness.

As I take it all in,
I feel a serene quietness
flooding my soul with . . .
a reassuring stillness.

I wish I could harness it,
so to always feel this way
I wish I could release it
every second of the day.

Sometimes way down deep,
a feeling rises up and swells
I know it comes from the place . . .
where the Holy Spirit dwells!

by not forgetting His power
each day we must seek.

The Holy Spirit abides,
in every one of us . . .
and to produce much fruit
in Jesus we need to trust!

John 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.

Galatians 5.22-23

“But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against
such there is no law.”
