But the Fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control; against such things
there is no law. Galatians 5:22
They shall be known
by their fruit
What is motivating you when you get up in the morning? When you think of the life you are living what
do you feel is your contribution? Are you contributing in a positive way to the
world you live in?

This wasn't a question that bothered me much up to my early
30’s, but after that I began to feel that there must be more to my life than
the one I was living, I had things I wanted to achieve, new things I wanted to
try and places to travel to, I knew that I had to step up and make changes and
my drive to be more creative couldn't be contained.
When you look at an apple seed, you don’t know how many
apples will grow on the tree that the apple will later go on to be, neither do
you know how many trees the seeds that are in each apple that will eventually grow
and develop. But you can be guaranteed
that with the right conditions, temperature and soil nutrients, you generally
should get a fairly good harvest. Year
after year the tree will get bigger and produce more and more fruit, and the
cycle will continue with each seed that is produced. There will be more fruit in its 10th
year than was in its 2nd year.
That said you know that a plum tree will never bear apples no matter how
much you talk to the tree, change the fertilizer you’ll get plums. I give you this example because I think we
are all blessed to produce fruit of our own, and there are the gifts and
talents we possess that can and should be expressed into the.
No two gifts are the same.
The gifts’ you have are like no other, think about the gifts you possess,
the ones that come naturally and those that with a bit of extra study, training
or practice can be put to use.
Identifying the fruit – the scripture says we will be known by our
fruit so there is an expectation that we will be producing something from what
we have. What have you been sitting on
for such a long time that needs to be express, and what about ‘that thing’ that
you always promised yourself you would do when you had time, when will that be
exactly?
Our fruit ultimately should be
a blessing to someone else, it’s no good keeping them to ourselves they are to
edify and encourage others to grow and develop the gifts and fruit yet to be
birthed.
