Leprosy
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” Galatians 5:22-23a NKJV
First his fine kindnesses fell
off, selfishness set in,
longsuffering was next to go
when impatience began
to strip off his self-control,
then carnality took hold,
joy and goodness both dropped off
and evil took control.
Then both peace and gentleness
into exile did depart
as love dwindled to nothing
in his hard raging heart.
Faithfulness no more was there,:
he walked a sickening path-
and leprous was his spirit;
as leprous was his heart.
