BY THE FRUITS=OF OUR LIFE

 

BY THE FRUITS=OF OUR LIFE

 

I am NOT much=

Of a gardener=I don’t

Have that GREEN THUMB=

But I have

Friends that do

 

TODAY we read about

The PARABLE of a fruit tree

In Luke

 

A man wants

To CUT DOWN the fruit tree

Because it is NOT GROWING

 

But the GARDENER has

More expertise and says to

Give it some TIME

 

As long as there is

LIFE IN IT=

The tree might be SAVED

With attention and EFFORT

 

“Sir=leave it

For this year also

 

And I shall CULTIVATE

The ground around it

 

It may BEAR FRUIT

In the future=

If not=you can cut it down”                                                                                              Luke 13:8-9

 

And isn’t that

The way it is=

With some people too

 

As long as there is LIFE

In them=they can change=

They can GROW

 

GOD’S MERCY cuts right

To the heart=

He gives us all

MANY CHANCES to grow

And change

 

One day=we will be

JUDGED by the

FRUITS OF OUR LIFE

 

“That person-

Is like a tree=planted by

The streams of water

 

Which yields its FRUIT

In season=and whose leaf

Does not wither--------

Whatever they do prospers”                                                                                              Psalm 1:3

 

“On each side

Of the river

 

Stood the tree of life-

Bearing twelve crops of FRUIT=

Yielding its FRUIT

Every month”                                                                                                                 Revelation 22:2

 

Yes our God-

Yes our Jesus

Is the EVER PATIENT GARDENER

 

Lovingly offering his MERCY

So that=hopefully

NONE of us will perish

And we all

Have a change=and can be SAVED

 

He=the Lord=

Is PATIENT with us=and judges us

BY THE FRUITS=OF OUR LIFE!

 

“……..being strengthened

With all power=according to

His glorious might

 

So that you may have

Great endurance and PATIENCE”                                                                            Colossians 1:11

 

Dear Lord=we pray

That we CULTIVATE our lives

And bear FRUIT=with it

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER PATIENT Holy Father God
