me a Tree of Life???

I remember back to my Geometry class where you build upon the equation till you get the answer. I think that is true with God's Word. Truth built upon truth.

I found a butterfly = Proverbs 11:30 & Galatians 5:22-23! (God repeating Himself OT to NT / mirrored images like butterfly wings). My first thought was an excited wow and it like proving a Geometry problem...

1. The Fruit of the Righteous is a Tree of Life,
and he who wins souls is wise. ~ Proverbs 11:30

2. ... the Fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control ... ~Gal 5:22-23
-----------------
So the Fruit of the Righteous is the living out of the Fruit of the Spirit.

So if we are living a pure and clean life in the fruit of the Spirit,
then our pure living is 'Life Fruit' for the unbelievers
and can bring them to the Saviour....

I love this! As I go to work and see the broken lives of certain people, I wonder at how I can reach them. I bring this to God asking for strength with my feeble words. Yet, maybe this living the Fruit of the Spirit is the best outreach where my words fail.

I love how God works because when I seek, He always finds me and delights me with Treasure...

When You said, "Seek My Face,"
my heart said to You,
"Your Face, Lord, I seek."
~ Psalms 27:8
