Galations 5:22-23

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Sonnet 756 Galations 5:22-23

The harvest of the Spirit in your days
Is love and joy and peace and patience too
And gentleness and goodness in your ways
To make a faithful, meek and temperate you.

While yielding to the flesh throughout your life
Will drive away the Spirit and replace
All love and joy with wickedness and strife
Long suffering and meekness with disgrace.

There is a constant battle for your soul
Between the Spirit and the lusts of man
And fruits of goodness ought to be your goal
So here's a wise and certain harvest plan.

Whatever kind of fruit you want to grow
Is governed by the seeds you choose to sow.
