LENT--DAY 16
SCRIPTURE
Luke 6:43-45 (NRSV)
A tree and its fruits
"No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. Figs are not gathered from thorns, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.
DEVOTION--Today is Saturday Psalmody; the mediation is offered as a psalm from my heart! If you would like a more traditional devotion, please search the archives for a title that appeals to you! (smile)
I hear you
and I see you fruit
It's rotten to the core
Nasty
Bitter
Rancid
Although it appears
sweet
drenched in honey
delivered with a smile
I can taste it
in the depth of my soul
and it is
gross
Daddy taught me
not to expect good fruit
from a bad tree
and He was right
You all need
to check yourselves
Repent
Turn
Change
So that out of your hearts
will come
Words
Fruit
Actions
LOVE
JOY
PEACE
PATIENCE
KINDNESS
GOODNESS
FAITHFULNESS
GENTLENESS
SELF-CONTROL
that's the kind of fruit
that will please
The Master
and make Him smile.
