If you have ever had

These fleeting thoughts,

Or pondered on

Your fruitless situation,

Then perhaps the reason

For your consternation,

Is just a simple

Misinterpretation,

Of what it means,

To be a fruit tree.

The Fruit Tree Analogy:

Please stop reading

Right now,

And find two pieces,

Of your favorite

Kinds of fruit.

An apple

Or an orange

Will do,

But if it's something

Like the latter,

Then please peel one

As if prepared to eat,

And do the following.

First,

Please name each one,

For a Fruit of the Spirit

That you feel like you need,

Or know you often lack.Galatians 5:22-23

One could be

The fruit of faith,

That's hard to find.

While the other one

Could symbolize

The fruit of happiness,

Or patience,

Or a fleeting sense

Of peace of mind.

And now,

Holding one in either hand,

Please stand,

And when you slowly

Lift your limbs

On either side,

What have you just become?

A fruit tree,

Right?

A fruit bearing,

Fruit of the Spirit

Fruit tree,

Just like we're
