On the tree of discontent God’s fruit does not appear Faces reflect embitterment Changing the atmosphere The fruit this tree produces Can make one very ill Selfishness seduces To make demands most shrill
In everything give thanks And show your gratitude Always love outranks With gentle attitude God’s grace will transform And make straight your path To God’s Word, conform To escape sin’s wrath

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – “Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Galatians 5:22-26 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
