Fruit of the Spirit

Does your talk and walk coincide
with a place where God’s Spirit abides,
or does it stink with rotten flavour
which God could not condone or savour?

Does what you do and say agree
with the fruit from God’s own tree,
or is it infected by plague and rust
so that you have lost man’s trust?

The unity of what we say and do
should give everyone we meet a clue
that God’s own Spirit dwells within
so that what is invisible, can be seen.
