What Kind of Apples?

If you were a tree
of apples so bold
What kind of apples
would your tree limbs hold?

Would they be bitter
Or would they be sweet?
Would your apples provide
A nutritious treat?

Apples of goodness
Filled with God’s mercy?
Apples of pardon
Grace for the thirsty?

In Jesus our tree
Can bear joy divine.
Through trouble and trial
Our Jesus would shine.

Apples of patience
Longsuffering too.
What kind of apples
Are falling from you?

Crab apples are green
And bitter to eat.
Some apples are rotten
and lay at one’s feet.

A fruit bearing tree
In Jesus I’m told.
Will bear sweet apples
Sweet apples of gold.

Like honey they yield
Providing the world.
With apples of goodness
Produced by our Lord.

If you were a tree
of apples so bold;
What kind of apples
would your tree limbs hold?

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. (KJV)
