Frist Fruit
I love when the scripture uses food to prove a point, that’s the only way to get my undivided attention besides cars. Through fruit bearing we are required to live out the nine fruits of the spirits, displaying Christ in us. Of course it’s not easy to display all nine, especially with my experience driving in South Florida. Driving from Palm Beach County to Miami Dade County I lose joy, peace, love, meekness, temperance, long suffering and particularly gentleness. That’s seven out of nine fruits, all because I have a low tolerant for simple minded drivers. Through prayer, the Lord gave me a simple situation, “Stop driving to Miami and take the train. I’ll provide transportation when you get there. If your ride is late, please practice patient (long suffering) and wait for them and not walk.” Since I travel back and forth to see my family frequently, I weigh my options seven out of one fruit lost. I can deal with those odds. I can do it alone, in order to deal with my regular drives, I must be prayed up till I get to my destination, abiding in Christ. Staying attach to the vine, the source of my strength.

...he began to drown, that’s when his faith was renewed in Jesus and he was able to walk back with Jesus to the boat. (Crocker, M, Houston, J, and Ligthelm. S, Track 4)
This song took me into to worship where I was able to cry out to God, for him to use me freely. What if we Christians had faith without borders, how much can we do for Christ without fear. Walk on water, taking in an orphan and rise it as my own child, or go into the Middle East and share the gospel of Christ with no fear of death. My fear and lack of faith is hold back the Kingdom of God from moving. 2 Timothy 1:7 the Lord said he has not given us the spirit of fear, but the power of love, and sound mind (King James Version). He gave me the power to overcome all levels of fear from the lion’s fear which is what I hear, the serpent’s fear is what I see, and the dragon’s fear which is what I imagine.
