Lesson From A Lemon















There seems to be many purposes all found in the same lemon....

Here are a few I found today......

Juice
Rind
Seeds
Zest
Acid
Flavor
Drink
Garnish
Marinade
Liquor
Preservative
Food oxidizer
Fermentation
Lemon Battery
Deodorizer
Stain remover
Hair lightener
Insecticide
Skin bleach
Acne Treatment
Liver cleanser when drank with a glass of water
Stimulate for metabolism
Antibacterial
Face mask
Wood treatment
Skin cleaner and is used in taxidermy
Disinfectant
Odor Eater
Deodorant
Hand moistener for bank tellers etc
Aromatherapy
Copper Cleaner when dipped in baking soda
Citric Acid
Vitamin C

All of these and many more are found in this same piece of fruit called a lemon.....

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galations 5:22,23

These are all seven different parts of a single fruit.....

The Fruit of the Spirit....

Single fruit....

Many parts.....

And it is all in there......

You can't get any without getting it all....

And if one claims a few parts of the fruit and is missing others.....

Well.....

If one does not manifest them all he really really possesses none......

This little lesson has been resounding inside of me all day and I intend to share it with the CUPC family tonight....
