Supposed to be!

Well,

Not exactly.

Because there really isn't

"Much fruit,"

Hanging on your branches,

Is there?

And yet don't you really

Long for more?

And yet don't you often

Pray and plead for more?

And don't you hunger

To be filled,

With the very

Fruit of the Spirit

That you hold?

If so,

Then freely eat!

Eat,

And keep on eating,

Until your stomach is as full

As your heart longs to be,

Filled,

With the Fruits of the Spirit!

But wait a minute.

Isn't something wrong here?

Because aren't we

Supposed to be,

A spiritual fruit tree?

Or at least resemble those

Who say they try to be?

And yet if so,

Have you ever seen

A fruit tree,

Eat its own fruit?

No,

And that's because

They don't.

And yet whom do we

Seek to feed,

When we say or pray

The following?

"I need more of this Fruit.

And I need more of that Fruit.

And please Lord,

Please fill me with

The Fruits of the Spirit,

Today!"

This prayer,

Exemplifies

The reason why
