The fruit of our lives will become apparent not only to us but also to others. If we will keep planting seeds of righteousness, then we will harvest righteousness in our lives. If we sow seeds of bitterness, then bitterness is what we will reap. Paul says it this way in Galatians 6:7, “God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest.”
What we give our energy to, we will see in our lives. What we tend to will grow. Let’s give our focus to fellowship with Christ, and let’s give our attention to the values of his kingdom. Seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and goodness are valuable crops in our lives. Faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control serve us well. Let us take our intentions and cultivate them with our actions in the soil of God’s grace. God, you are a skilled gardener, and I want my life to be full of your fruit. I yield to your leadership, and I submit to your pruning. Show me what needs to be removed and where I need to tend to my own garden, and I will do it.
