When we received Jesus Christ in our hearts
He did not only cleanse it
But also, inside He left a basket
With different seeds in every packet
The Basket has a red bow on top
And tied on it is a lovely big card
It says, "Thanks for letting me in to your heart,
These are my gifts; each one has a special part
Each pack grows one kind of fruit,
It's up to you to cultivate it and let it grow
Don't worry my friend, the Spirit is with you
I also left instructions, right there in my Word
The fruits are abundant in my Kingdom
And I want to share it with you
It's a blessing from our Father
So go ahead, discover its wonder.
The first of the packs is labeled with LOVE
It will grow beautifully if you love God above
Shower it with care, nurture it and share
It's the greatest fruit that one could bare
Here's how to cultivate Love even more:
Share and give w/o expecting a return
Be loyal, be true, be understanding
As God did when we were once crying
The second fruit I would like you to grow
The fruit of JOY to liven up your abode
Great delight and gladness of your heart
A great state while knowing & serving God
Here's how to cultivate Joy even more:
Be sincere, be happy, and be joyful
Believe that God heals and delivers
Our strength will always be the Joy of the Lord
The third fruit I give, would be the fruit of PEACE
Harmony and tranquility are what it brings
This Peace is special and a very rare one
For it exceed all our doubts and uncertainties
Here's how to cultivate Peace even more:
Dependence in God that He's always there
Accord between friends, one and each other
Sooner or later, you'll be a peacemaker
The fourth fruit, it's the tolerant LONG-SUFFERING
The good value of Patience also what it brings
In this fast-paced environment that we're living in
Steadfastness and endurance are what we should carry with
Here's how to cultivate Long-Suffering even more:
Patience and endurance are the primary keys
For us to last the entire race
Believe that He has a purpose in every case
The next fruit is a respectable one
The fruit of KINDNESS for everyone
The same kindness that God has shown us
So it's time for you to share--- that's the task
Here's how to cultivate Kindness even more:
A kind word, a kind action to one another
Be hospitable to every one who needs help
Be kind, be gracious to each & one you met
The sixth fruit is the fruit of GOODNESS
It's like a magnet that attracts everyone
The goodness of God, He shares with you
To shine, to show; for people to be touched
Here's how to cultivate Goodness even more:
Do good and put your love in action
Be a living testimony of what God has done
For you, for me and for one another
The seventh fruit, I truly delight
The fruit of FAITHFULNESS in the Light
If grown well your eyes will see
A more true and personal relationship with Him
Here's how to cultivate Faithfulness even more:
Hold fast and always believe in His Word
Stay loyal and put high esteem to Him
Dedicated and dependability on Him
Now GENTLENESS should be handled with care
Just as I did while I talk with people of different race
Gentle words could open up hearts
When dealing both believers or not
Here's how to cultivate Gentleness even more:
Always share a gentle and loving touch
With mildness and tenderness in every tap
Big points for you if you combined it with corrective love
SELF-CONTROL, now that's a big fruit to grow
You need to watch for it for pests to go
It's like a big game of tug of war
Between our Spirit and earthly desires
Here's how to cultivate Self-Control even more:
Always pray for guidance from above
Never let down your guard, mediate His Word
Sure enough, God will help you overcome the world
These nine fruits in the basket are powerful enough
To help you to change and transform your previous life
Also, it could help to touch other lives
To free them too from this world of strife
Now your job is simple enough
To deepen these seeds within your heart
Let it grow through walking God's ways
Let Us operate in you everyday
All We want is for you to be willing
Just like when you started believing
As I have told you awhile my beloved friend
I will always be with you all the way. "
