My Spirit Is Like A Banana (Posted on FB)
The fruits of the spirit according to Galations 5:22 are: love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. There are some days that the only fruit my spirit produces is more like that off a banana than of any listed above. Here is why.
I get up in the morning, fresh from sleep; my body, heart, mind and spirit ready to begin this new day and all the challenges it presents, eager to make this truly the day that I take this spiritual awareness with me until I lay my head down again that night. So, in the course of the day what happens? I get an unexpected phone call with bad news, someone drops the ball at corporate and I have to deal with the customer, I stump my big toe on the table that I forgot I have just placed there when rearranging furniture, any of a list of small and large events from an average day. So, a normal day with what it holds can bring down my spirit quicker than anything else I know, just in its normalcy.
The comparison to the banana then is this. The green ripe delicious banana in the morning lays in the fruit bowl all day just waiting to be taken up and eaten for the good of the body and the pleasure it gives to the taste. As it lay there untouched all day it begins to brown, mellow out and by the end of the day it has lost its allure, its spirit so to speak has been diminished.
How to reverse this process? It occurs to me that although like the banana by the end of the day my spirit has darkened and become something heavy and without taste, I can pause and allow the real fruit of the spirit to wash over me, remaking my day into something beautiful, clearing away the brown spots that the day bruised and burdened it with. Just like I can take the brown, mellow, banana and along with other ingredients turn it into a warm, appealing bread, full of body and flavor, now a very useful fruit once again.
I love an analogy as is very apparent in most of my writing for it gives me such a vast wealth of subjects to use. To be able to compare my spirit with a banana is not only a little witty and a little fun, I hope it reveals a truth that the fruit of the spirit are real tools that we need to use daily so they will not wither away, and take our goodness with them.
