Fresh Fruit

Jesus said the seed that falls on fertile soil will bear fruit, some hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty (Mathew 13:23). That is good news for us. As we receive the Word of God into our spirits God will produce fruit in us.

We will be full of love, joy, peace. We will have the ability to show kindness, goodness and faithfulness. We will be gentle and have self control. The abundance of fruit we produce may be directly related to what we need in any given situation.

The psalmist says he who delights in the law of the Lord day and night will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth fruit in its season. His leaf will not wither and whatever he does will prosper (Psalm 1:3).
