My mommy thinks it's fun to dress me up in cute outfits and take my picture. This particular outfit is one of my favorites. I haven't tried strawberries yet, but I hear they're pretty tasty. Even though I've never had one, I love this costume because it reminds me of a passage in the Bible. A strawberry is a fruit. Did you know the Bible talks about fruit?
Galations 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
Just as a vine produces fruit when it's alive, we also produce "fruit" when we're alive in Christ. These are the fruits we should be producing. When you look at a fruit tree, it's easy to identify what kind it is based on the fruit that's hanging from it. People who look at us should be able to tell we are Christians by the fruit in our tree - in other words - by the actions we take and the attitude we have. If you're not producing the fruits listed above, maybe it's time to dig into God's word and water your tree! ;)
