Don't Be a Coconut

The fruit of the Spirit, found in Ephesians 5:22-23, can and will transform your life. The fruit of the Spirit--love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control--aren't just a to-do list. Each one is an attribute to God and each other. These qualities are given to us by God when we accept Him and His Spirit comes to live in us. But they are not gifts we just passively receive. God wants us to join in growing the fruit in our lives by making intentional choices.

Named after the "Fruit of the Spirit" children's song by Uncle Charlie.

The fruit of the Spirit's not a coconut; the fruit of the Spirit's not a coconut; if you want to be a coconut; you might as well hear it; you can't be a fruit of the spirit; cause the fruit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
