Luke 13:9 - "it may bear fruit in the future. If not you can cut it down".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE are all expected to be "fruitful". If a tree is now anymore bearing fruits, it would be cut down and plant another one in its place.
And as Christians, we are also expected to bear fruits.
Am I bearing fruits now? What are the "fruits" that I can share and show?
Alms-giving, praying, righteousness, forgiveness, ministering, giving to the Church, leading others to Christ, missionary support. We may not do everything, but the question is have we done at least one of them?
Each of us is different with different gifts and fruits, but we all come from the same God. And we are all planted on the best root soil the world has ever known: Jesus Christ himself.
Use what God has given you for His glory, to bear fruit and to further His Kingdom. Do not bury them to the ground, but rather, use it and share with others, so they may also bear fruits.
Start bearing fruits now, or be cut down!
+ Let us pray: Almighty Father, You are a patient and merciful God. Teach us to respond with great reverence to You so I may bear good fruits and be a blessing to others. Teach us to use this time of grace proclaiming Your words so others may also bear fruit, all for Your glory and praise. Amen +
