We all know that stealing is wrong...God says so, and puts it in our hearts to know right from wrong. Here is a little anecdote about the consequence of "fruit theft". Go ahead and have a good laugh-I sure did, and be sure to see the beautiful work above by Jocelyn Fris of NewCreatioNZ She has expressed on canvas her version of the scriptures "Fruits of the spirit" Galatians 5:22-23
So beautifully rendered, and fruit that no one can steal from you when you are filled with the Holy Spirit!
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL......
A fruit farmer hired two new workers for his fields, but before he sent them out for the day's work, he told them he had just one rule: don't steal any fruit. The two agreed to obey the rule.
After the day was over, the two workers came in to report to the farmer. He asked them if they had stolen any fruit, and immediately their conscience forced them to tell the truth.
"Yes, we did. We ate some when we got hungry," they said.
The farmer replied, "OK, here is your punishment. I want each of you to go pick ten of your favorite fruit and come back to me."
The men couldn't believe their ears. This seemed more like a reward than a punishment!
After fifteen minutes, the first thief came back with ten cherries. The farmer promptly told him that as part of his punishment, he would have to stuff each cherry up his nose. The thief was upset about this, but he knew he had done wrong, so he slowly began to push the cherries up his nose one by one.
As he was working on the third cherry, he began to laugh hysterically. The farmer asked him, "What's so funny?"
The thief replied, "The other guy is out there picking watermelons!"

Just as we give our children rules to follow for their good, so the Lord gives them to us.
Sin always has a consequence...
