Fruits of The Spirit

Love is the very first fruit on the tree
The most important fruit there can be
God teaches that love be sacrificial
Given in a way that is unconditional
Joy is found in appreciation of Him
And gratitude for being kept from sin
Peace is inner calmness that you can feel
When your deep security in Christ is real
Patience is bearing trials better than before
When others test you to your very core
Kindness in God’s eyes means to be true
To treat others the way He treats you
Goodness means to strive for excellence
A life of holiness and benevolence
Faithfulness is having a sense of trust
Decency and duty is also a must
Gentleness is treating all with consideration
From all walks of life and every nation
Self control requires all of your might
To only do what God thinks is right
The fruits of the spirit, God’s code of life
Nurture the fruit tree and be free of strife
