What Fruit Does Your Life Reveal?

When you have a garden, you plant various seeds to have extra produce that is homegrown and also for just the enjoyment of doing it. Each plant produces a different kind of fruit, flower, or vegetable, as you know.

Do you think about the kind of fruit your life and lifestyle produces?

If you get angry easily and use it in the wrong way, then you have fruit of anger in your life. This can lead to injuries, abuse, unforgiveness, and a host of other problems. One man I know was hit in the head by someone he knew who was drunk. He had a horrible headache and upset stomach from it. This was not the first time this had happened from that person.

What kind of fruit do you show to the ones you love and who love you?

If you have bad habits like drugs, smoking, alcohol, and others, what fruit will they produce in consequences later on in your life? Bad health, possible death, cancer, ruined relationships and more are all possibilities. Is this what you want for your life?

When you die, you perhaps will leave a will to disperse what is left from your estate earmarked for others. Beyond those physical things you leave behind, what intangibles like love, hate, abuse, patience or impatience, and compassion will you be remembered for? Maybe you don't care about the legacy of your life, and that is your choice.

It is never too late to change the negative fruit of our lives until we die. Hebrews 9:27 tells us that it is given unto men once to die and then the judgment. You only get whatever your lifespan is to come close to God and let Him help you with your life. That can be short or long, but we don't know when our deaths will be. It could be tonight or it could be a long time yet to come.

Think about what your fruit is, and then ask God to help you change. He loves you and wants to make your life better.He has a wonderful purpose for your life, if you let Him help you. But it all boils down to your choice. The Bible is our guidebook to show us how to come close to God and stay there, along with a lot more information we need for our daily living.
