Watch trees in the garden how healthy they grow,
Creator God
to each tree its fruit bestow,
Fruit that
are not hidden, be they ripe or green,
But fruit
however, which are visibly seen,
What fruit
is your life bearing for God today?
Right there
where you are planted, just where you stay?
To be
without God’s fruit is to live a lie,
Who can our
Lord’s promises fault or belie?
For Jesus
has stated most firm and most clear,
For all
living ears to listen and to hear,
We are the
branches and He is the true vine,
All who are
in Him can’t but bear fruit divine.
Watch the
believers as they go to and fro,
Whatever
condition and state they may know,
If their
minds are throttled by things all carnal,
They live
dead lives of pure Spirit-denial,
Bearing
fruit, but never of the Spirit’s kind,
Because
faith is not what drives and feeds the mind,
But if the
mind by the Spirit is throttled,
Abiding in
Christ the believer’s settled,
In thought,
word and deed, Holy Spirit stands out,
He confirms
His Presence leaving not a doubt,
Where life
and peace to faith-living He gives,
The mind
ruled by Him does not die, but it lives.
Amen!
