The Growing of Fruit

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
Galatians 5:16-18

Faith.Hope.Love

Faith is the root; hope is the stem; love is the perfect flower. I may have faith without hope, and hope without love; but I cannot have love apart from faith and hope. Building faith on firm soil and not sand. Only a strong foundation in the roots can withstand the harsh weather conditions that the plant might encounter. Without a firm groundwork, it will be like a rose without its roots; die within a few days. Utmost care is the one and only method to grow a flower that stands in the crowd. Deep faith develops strong hope which will bear the ideal love. External environment might intervene but I pray I will be able to go through all the trials and temptations for I yearn for the perfect flower terribly.
