The Fruits of the Spirit

Galatians 5:22

What are the fruits of the spirit? What do they do, how do you get them and why are they good things to have?
These are questions lots of people have when they look at that verse or are told about the Fruits of the Spirit.

The Fruits of the Spirit is best described as the fruit that is bared through us unto others, as we are the trees of God's garden and he has given us Fruit to seed the earth with the word of god. The Holy Spirit is usually flowing in this fruit and it is us as plants that must bear good fruit, for unspoiled fruit maybe picked up and looked at and a once eaten is consumed and makes the eater sick with the filth that lay inside our fruit. So it is very important that the Fruit we bare is the fruit god wants us to bear. The Fruits of the Spirit is the outward expressions we show to others everyday, or actually it is what they should be. For a gardener that is ready for harvest will be able to tell if the fruit he is harvesting is spoiled or ripe, and what do gardeners do when all the fruit of a tree is spoiled? The pluck out the plant and remove it from the garden. So god wants the fruit we bare everyday, to be love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, self control and faithfulness. He doesn't want others to eat spoiled fruit, but only that they eat the ripe fruit of god and the holy spirit implants its seeds into that vessel.

Now hopefully I'll remember this lesson for Sunday!
