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.
