FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT REV. CHARLIE WILFONG School children quickly learn that “like yields like.” In other words, apple trees bear apples; orange trees, oranges; etc. The kind of “fruit” which my life yields is determined by what kind of “tree” I am. If I am a tree planted in anxiety and fear, my life will manifest the “fruit” of anxiety and fear. If I am a tree planted in the Spirit of God, what will my life manifest? What is the fruit of such as life? Trees have to remain in good soil, receive plenty of water, and enjoy protection from disease, parasites, and predators in order to yield a good harvest of fruit. What kind of fruit does your life yield? How are you tending the tree to ensure good fruit?
