Fruit?
Good morning brothers and sisters. First, let me explain why I have not been on here. What God has planned for our family is now in motion. We are so excited to see where God is taking us. I always want to be ready when He tells me to do something. This has been and still is a scary ride but God is in control and His plan is way better than anything I can imagine. But onto fruit. This process has shown me so many things. And I want my fruit to always be good. Matthew 12:33- Either make the tree good and its fruit good or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. Have you ever seen a tree planted and not know what kind it is? When the season comes, it produces fruit and you know. In Matthew, Jesus says a tree is known by its fruit. Jesus also uses either/or. We are the trees and we will EITHER produce good fruit OR bad fruit. It is one or the other. Have you ever seen a piece of fruit that looks so good on the outside but when it is cut open, it is rotten? That is the same with human beings. We can do all the right things on the outside but our inside be rotten to the very core. Then again in Matthew 12: 34-37. Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. See people can look like they have good fruit but it is really rotten. Be fruit inspectors-first inspect yourselves and then your brothers and sisters. Let your fruit first be approved by God and it will be good. Rise up child of God, rise up!
