| With its hard protective shell, coconut has an interesting parallel to gentleness. By the way, you don't want to park your car under a tree that looks like this. |
But the fruit of the
Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law.
(Galatians 5:22-23)
I have a confession to make.
When I started this series about the Fruit of the Spirit, I made a list of the
various fruit and what I saw as their counterfeits. From the very beginning, I
was anxious to get to this one because it is something I feel very strongly
about. Now, it is time to write about it. I still feel strongly, but I have been
faced today with a difficult situation to which this post applies. As I write, I will be speaking as much
to myself as anyone else.
