Fruit or Vegetable
May 9, 2018
When we live without bearing fruit, God may choose to allow crap come into our lives in order to fertilize us so that we can be useful to Him and bear fruit. He does not want us to be a vegetable and do nothing for Him, never changing or growing. When we abide in Him, we grow and change and our relationship with Him bears fruit in our lives that others can see.

Often times it’s like opening a can of worms when we talk about pain and suffering we’ve gone through.

When we experience God’s forgiveness at great lengths, we find ourselves loving others all the more. The Bible encourages us to greet each other with a holy kiss, showing intimacy in a way that lets go of hatred, animosity, insecurities and indifference.

God wants us to have constant communication with Him, through the good times and the bad. He wants a relationship with us so that He can speak to us and show us His will. When we abide in this relationship then our prayers start to match up with His will and we see His amazing answers.

Jesus had many followers while He was here on earth, but at one point or another most all of them ditched. The opportunity to pick up and follow Him is always there, the question is simply whether or not we will choose to give up our own lives and follow Him closely or not.

While it’s not wrong to have doubts about our salvation, there is a time to get past our doubts and fully surrender to God in faith. We must acknowledge when we have doubts, face them and then move past them because continuing to live in doubt without moving into faith can be the most detrimental choice to choose.
