Known By Our Fruit

"...So every good tree bears good fruit,

but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit,

nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

So then, you will know them by their fruits." ~ Jesus

Matthew 7:17-20 NASB

But the fruit of the Spirit is...



love,

joy,

peace,

patience,

kindness,

goodness,

faithfulness,

gentleness,

self-control;

Galatians 5:22-23a NASB

Originally, I was not going to add anything to this post.

God's Word says it all, and what could I possibly add to it?

That being true, I could not resist explaining how this post came about...

Recently, we traveled to an orchard and I took all these photographs there.

As I mulled over the condition of the fruit: some good and some bad,

the Lord caused me to remember these verses,

and my focus turned from the orchard's fruit to evaluating the fruit in my own life.

It is my hope that these verses will be the blessing to you today as they are to me.

Stop by either, or both, of these sites for a refreshing time in God's Word

and fellowship with other ladies of faith.
