fresh fruit

We are all suppose to get three to five servings of fresh fruit every day. But most of us don't. I know I don't. But more important than the fresh fruit we are to eat each day we should be displaying fresh fruit. No not the lemons and limes that are in the dish on my kitchen counter -- the fruit of the spirit. You know love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is the fruit God gives us in our lives when we learn to fully trust in him. He sees to our spiritual health.
Love is the fruit. It is seen in the joy we find in knowing Christ. The peace of giving all over to him. the patience we have with others know that God is not finished with them, just like he isn't finished with us. The kindness and goodness we show to those in need. The faithfulness we mirror back to him. the gentleness that calms the pain of others and the self-control to hand all control over to His Holy Spirit.
This is the fruit that shows we belong to him.
