We all have heard the old adage " A tree is judge by the fruit it bears." As men and women we are called to bear fruit. Not just for ourselves in the literal sense of growing apples, oranges, or whatever fruit of your choice maybe. I am talking about service and positive influence in the lives of others. Whether it be your family, friends, co-workers, or strangers. We live in a society where its all about being self absorb in our own desires. Nothing is wrong for a man or woman to desire things or to better themselves in life, but we must remember Jesus served others in the form of healing the sick, teaching disciples, feeding the hungry, along with many more things.
The scripture John 15:16 Jesus says "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
When you are fruitful, you are a blessing to others and in return you will be blessed as long as you do it from the heart.
Poetic Thought:
Real men and women cultivate,
Sow seeds of love not hate,
Give of themselves freely with time,
Leave a positive impression on someone else heart and mind,
When you care for others, you are at your best,
Real men and women are fruitful not fruitless! ~ JD
Reflect on your life as a man or woman, take inventory to see if you are being fruitful or fruitless! Commit to doing better no matter which one it is. Until next time, class dismiss!!
