We were chosen to bear fruit. It is so cool to think that God has a plan to use us to help promote His kingdom. He wants our life to be fruitful. He has chosen us, appointed us and anointed us to be fruitful in this life! When it comes to goals, and accomplishing them, God is on our side. His desire is that we progress. He wants us to experience the very best of life, in our health, in our finances, and specifically in our spiritual life. He wants our soul prospering, so that every other area of our life can prosper. We can be fruitful in all of these ways:
Kindness – is discovering the joy of helping others
Patience – is accepting the imperfections of others
Forgiveness – Is finding freedom from the grip of anger
Courtesy – is treating others as friends
Humility – is stepping down, so someone else can step up
Generosity – is giving yourself to others
And Honesty – is revealing who you really are.
As you think about all of those qualities, I’m sure there are some that come quite easily to you. Maybe you are very generous, and love giving to others. Or maybe kindness comes really easily. Maybe you can see where you do need the strength of God to do better . Maybe your are really impatient with people, or have a hard time forgiving others. Praise God we do have the power of God on the inside of us to help us overcome. We don’t have to stay like we are. We can change. We can bear good fruit and we can develop into the person God really wants us to be. So why not start today. Determine to be kind, patient, forgiving, courteous, humble, generous and honest.
