The Fruit

Dennis DeWinter, reader

Poem by Budd Goodyear

Our Father wants us to have a personal relationship with Him as Jesus taught, through the Holy Spirit. Perhaps, one of the unrecognized curiosities of that is that we all have our own personality, so our relationship with our Father may be individually quite different. Song writers write songs, poets write poems, painters paint images of Creation and so on. There are thousands, perhaps millions, of songs reflecting writers’ and singers’ relationship with our Father. The Fruit of the Spirit is in them all and everywhere. The Fruit of the Spirit shows me that there is nothing I can see or hear that is not part of our Father’s Creation, including a modern self-driving automobile, the result of our Father’s creating raw materials and His giving humans the intelligence to put them together.
