A "Peace" of Fruit

       What a peace the Lord has offered man! Truly it "passes all understanding". It is offered by the One "who provides the increase". It would be absurd to reject the fruit of the Spirit which bears life in joyful abundance. Are we not told that "the harvest is plentiful" and again, "who works in the field and does not eat of its fruit?"

       All fruit that is good bears yet more seed. This is wisdom from the Lord, life should bear life. Death can bear nothing except eternal destruction, perpetual and ever breaking down without ceasing to be. The fruit of Life is sweet and wholesome and good. It is strengthening to the drive of whoever consumes it. It is motivating to thought and stirring the soul, the awakening rush overtaking the spirit and urging it to press on. What is in the natural, is but a mere dark reflection of its spiritual relativity. The wisdom of the Lord outreaches the lengths and depths of our capacity to conceive of it.
