Recipe Card

Take a cup of Forgiveness,
stir in some of God's grace
then fold it into your heart
and this recipe you'll embrace.

For, you'll need to keep adding,
more ingredients as you go
if you plan on having a year
where Love can rise and grow.

You're going to need Patience,
at least a cup or two
if you want to have Meekness
bubbling up inside of you.

At times you'll need to blend in,
a heaping spoonful of Goodness
then beat it into the mixture
so you can whip up Gentleness.

Don't forget to add a pinch of Joy,
as you whisk it into Peace
a smidgen of Faith and Trust
will cause Hope to be released.

If you live in the Spirit,
you'll need to walk in it too . . .
if this year you follow this recipe
it'll produce His fruit in you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Galatians 5:22-23 
King James Version

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.
