"But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also"- Matthew 6:20-21 (NIV).
Fruit is produced, harvested, and then carefully canned and stored away for later use. Each jar contains the carefully preserved fruit ready to fill the need of the person who opens the treasure, whether they are the producer or the recipient of the stored up gift. Similarly, fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, are fruits that get stored up in the hearts of both the producer and the recipient. These heavenly treasures of spiritual fruit fill a great need in ourselves and in others, and they cannot be stolen from either of you. The time for harvest is now. Produce the fruits of the spirit and fill both your needs and the needs of others, both now and stored for later consumption. The shelf-life of spiritual fruit is eternal.
