BEARING FRUIT In This life




Is your life
Bearing fruit


Are you living a life
Based on the fruit of God


Are you living a life
Based on
The teaching of Christ


If you are
I guarantee you
You are
Living a life
That is bearing fruit


“The fruit of the spirit is love,
Joy, peace, patience, kindness,
Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control


Against such things
There is no law” Galatians 5:22-24


EVIL has no chance
Against such a person
Bearing ALL these qualities


And these people
Are bearing fruit


And I urge you
NOT to give up on people
JUST LIKE FRUIT
Some people take awhile
To mature-to ripen


GOOD people
Will bear good fruit


“NO good tree
Bears bad fruit
Nor does a bad tree
Bear good fruit
Each tree is recognized
By its own fruit” Luke 6:43


Give it time
Give people time


“He is like a tree
Planted by streams of water
Which yields fruit in season
And whose leaf does not wither
Whatever he does prospers” Psalm 1:3


There are many good people
In this world
Like fruit
They need time to develop


And if you give them
This time
I guarantee you
When you leave this world
You will be leaving much fruit


Just live
With the fruits of the spirit:
“Love-joy-peace-patience
Kindness-goodness-faithfulness
Gentleness-and self-control”


And you will
Bear much fruit
With your life


“By their fruit
YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEM”
