Field Notes
Do you remember that old VBS song:

The fruit of the Spirit’s not a banana!
Oh the fruit of the Spirit’s not a banana!
If you wanna be a banana, you might as well hear it-
You can’t be a fruit of the Spirit!

‘Cause the Fruit is LOVE JOY PEACE PATIENCE KINDNESS GOOD NESS FAITHFULNESS GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL!

“You will know them by their fruit,” Jesus says.

Will they know you, or are you a banana?

Lord, we give it all to You. We refuse to hold on to things so tightly You are unable to take control. Make it so in us. Heal our brokenness. May we always be all-in with You. In Your name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
