“No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of." - Luke 6:43-45
These words of Jesus teach us that a tree will be recognized by its fruit. And this doesn't seem complicated to grasp, except that is also a powerful reminder that a tree will only produce good fruit if it is watered, fertilized and cared for. We can't expect to see delicious fruit growing from our lives (trees) if we are feeding it rubbish or not caring for it at all.
Thought: Would you say that you are producing good fruit (or bad) at the moment? Why?
