The Fruit of the Spirit

From the fullness of God's spirit Receive his LOVE so perfectly divine Under the filling up of ecstasy In the JOY that proves God's sign The contentment God's holiness brings Over our troubles and battles brings PEACE For in the struggles that come our way True PATIENCE comes from God never to cease Help comes from the Lord Jesus himself Every act of KINDNESS he'll graciously provide Such is God's abundant GOODNESS upon us Proving his FAITHFULNESS so in him to confide Inspiring to know our Lord's GENTLENESS Righteousness perfecting to his holiness Indwelling within helping our SELF CONTROL This is fruit of the spirit God's gloriousness

Today is Sunday and your poem makes me think. Only the righteous shall see heaven. I've had my share of hardships in life, but I've decided to travel the narrow path. Thank you for your inspiration.
