FRUIT of the SPIRIT - Without FORGIVENESS we are sometimes abandoned and alone, baffled and bewildered, confused and consumed, and possibly, discredited and disgraced. Yes, the thief has come to steal, to kill and to destroy our Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering (Patience), Gentleness (Kindness), Goodness, Faith, Meekness (Gentleness), and Temperance (Self-Control). But our eternal HUSBAND Jesus came in order that His Bride, the Church might have eternal life and that our eternal Fruit of the Spirit gardens' harvests will be abounding with FORGIVENESS and abundant fruit. Through our eternal HUSBAND Jesus' FORGIVENESS, our FORGIVENESS of self and others, as well as our obedience to His whispered Word, our GROOM Jesus will be able to cultivate a bountiful harvest within each of our FRUIT of the SPIRIT gardens, so that we may, by our lives, let others LOVE Him too
