Growing Fruit

Do you love the fruit of righteousness? Do you hate the process by which you acquire it? Do you see any inconsistency between these positions? You know that apples and pears do not develop overnight. It is the same way with the fruit I produce in you. If you love the end product then embrace the way it is developed, even if it is difficult. Knowing the connection between the result and the method makes the process easier to take, and the fruit endures after the process is complete. How many mothers who love their babies enjoy the discomfort of pregnancy? Yet they choose it freely for the joy of bringing life into the world. In patience choose the path that leads to righteousness and walk in it.
