The fruit of the Spirit is Love Galatians 3:22
Joy is love exulting and Peace is love at rest,
Patience love enduring in every trial and test;
Gentleness love yielding to all that is not sin;
Goodness, love in actions that flow from Christ within,
Faith is love's eyes opened, the living Christ to see
Meekness, love not fighting but bowed in Calvary.
Temperance, love in harness and under Christ's control
For Christ is love in person, and love, Christ in the soul.
- author Dr. K.D.Moynagh
Ruth Scharf, TWF faculty wife advisor, passed this poem along after she found it in her mother's bible. She and her family spent many years as missionaries in East Africa and later moved to the U.K.. Dr. Moynagh also spent time in East Africa and the U.K., as briefly described on the St. John's Church website, and his encouraging poem likely brought comfort to Ruth's mother throughout her entire life.
