Sometimes in life,
lemons, we are given
unpleasant tastes of truth
we have to sink our teeth in.
They come at us,
from out of nowhere
making us want to cry
“Life isn’t being fair.”
Lemons are so acidic,
they’ll turn us quite sour
as they eat away and erode
all our faith and power.
They are the bitter fruits,
of resentment and envy
leaving us feeling cold
indifferent and empty.
When life gives us lemons,
we need the Holy Spirit’s aide
to turn our sourness into . . .
sweet, refreshing lemonade!

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.”
