There once was a very old man who was planting a fruit tree.
A little boy came up to him and asked,
" How long will it take to grow fruit?"
The old man says "70 years"
The boys says,
"What! By the time it grows fruit, you will be dead!"
The old man answered,
"When I came into this world, there were fruit trees, and when I am dead there will be fruit trees,
and people will eat of the fruit."
End.
...Like Jesus speaking.
"For the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-control. Against such there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with it's passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep walking in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another or envying one another." Galatians 5:22-26
Where are you planting your seeds?
And also when are you watering them?
Catching on?....
Matthew 5:16
"Let your LET so SHINE BEFORE MEN, that they may see your good works, BUT GLORIFY the Father who is IN Heaven."
In the Bible, LISTEN, READ Matthew 13: 10-58
