We should be collectors
Of the good things God would give
So we could bring example
Of the way He'd have folks live.
The myriad facets of His love
Are there for all to know.
As we worship at His feet
His gifts He will bestow.
His wisdom is a treasured prize
Within the heart to store.
His "fruits" are goals to reach for
And to live by more and more.
Always there is more to learn
And "nuggets" to collect,
In hopes that in our lives each day
His goodness we'll reflect.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance..."
Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
