Fruit of the Light



I was captivated not so much by this butterfly, but by the wonderful dewy dark green leaves surrounding this succulent fruit inside the Butterfly Conservatory. The citrus essence was almost an aroma as I looked on the intense ripe colors of the fruit. No wonder the butterfly was drawn to it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said;
Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.
Eph. 5:8-14
