Well, not quite all of the fruit, because some of the apples were beyond my reach. Thinking of this fruit beyond my reach, reminded me of Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew Ch. 5, 6 & 7). In this sermon Jesus requires of His followers that their thoughts as well as their actions be

Help, in the spiritual sense, is always close at hand in the Person of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in every Christian. If we are open to the Holy Spirit, He will work with us to change us from within and produce His divine fruit in us. This will not happen overnight, but slowly He will raise us up towards the standard that Jesus requires, ever drawing us in nature closer to the very nature of Jesus. May Gladwin Methodist Minister
