-FOS-

Well, i am now in cf once again!! There is not much difference from school's cf, except that in college, will normally invite speakers from various churces to give talks. And last week, we had Clarence, from a church in klang to give a speech and the title is FOS.

Nop, its not factory outlet store, and its nothing to do with fashion or clothes or shopping. It stands for Fruit Of the Spirit. (dont ask me why it's not FOTS instead) And don misunderstand. The fruits dont stand for durian, rambutan, papaya etc etc. =\

Anyway, the topic comes from Galatians 5:22.

" These are the 9 Fruits that the Holy Spirit will produce in you:
-LOVE-
-JOY-
-PEACE-
-PATIENCE-
-KINDNESS-
-GOODNESS-
-FAITHFULLNESS-
-HUMILITY-
-SELFCONTROL-"

Though the topic may sound boring for some of you, but the pastor is a very jovial and humorous pastor. It was so interesting listening to his jokes and explainations. Too bad i am not a joker myself, or you will sure be laughing hysterically.

Anyway, these are the few points he shared.

1. We cannot force to produce these ''fruits' ourselves. It will come naturally once the Spirit lives in you. Just imagine you are in a durian orchard, starting at the 2 m tall tree with a nearly ripe durian hanging on one of the branches. The drurian smells so terrible (thats the reason ppl love it-just like 'chau taufu'') that your mouth starts drooling.

However, the durian will not just fall off with a ''thud'' to the ground because you want it. The tree itself knows when is the right time to fall and allow you to ''enjoy'' it. And though some of you may say, ''Why do i want to wait for it to fall when i can just take a ladder, climb, and pluck it??!!''

Well, what i can say is the durian tastes best when it is 100% ripe...

Anyway, the msg is if you have the heart and desire and for the 9 fruits, that you want to be like me, a loveable, adorable, kind, loving, etc etc character, (haha.. self praise is no praise), you will eventually be one!! You dont have to force yourself into one!! You may turn out the other way round!!
