"A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls." ~~King Solomon

When we live the life God has intended for us, it is like a tree that gives us delicious fruit. There is nothing like fresh fruit. We all love it. I was at the market yesterday and just had to get some figs and apricots.

That is in contrast to a life of violence. I think this is not just physical. Anything opposite of doing what GOD wants us too is violence against GOD and it destroys our very souls.

Thank GOD for the Holy Spirit of GOD that gives us the power to live the resurrected life of Jesus. Now that is Good News.
"A good life is a fruit-bearing tree; a violent life destroys souls." ~~King Solomon (Proverbs 11:30)
