Bearing Fruit
Going through the Motions
Have you ever been stuck in autopilot?
Having the mindset, "Don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee."
Sometimes we go through the motions not realizing what we are actually doing.
Day after day, doing the same ole' thing.
Alarm clock goes off
get out of bed
get dressed
brush your teeth
drink your coffee
head to work
gripe at the traffic
etc...
Did you stop and "live" each moment?
In the present.
Today is a gift, relish in it.
Live in it!
Thank God for every little bit of it!
Even if we are bored.
Even if we are in despair.
We are still here! With another breath.
Stop always trying to rush through the current moment to get to the next.
We don't know the end of our story, we only know this moment.
TODAY!
Life is too short to only do routine things.
Make the most of your time.
How can we produce anything if we aren't living purposefully?
God wants us to bare fruit.
He has created you to produce fruit.
Sometimes it takes a while.
But we have the opportunities to show love or selfishness everyday.
Jesus talked, welcomed, and invited EVERYONE.
Where are the moments that change us?
Share with others, they can see changes in your life.
Let us produce the fruit so we can nourish others.
So He can grow us into His image.
Spread the fruit.
