"Different kinds of fruit trees can quickly be identified by examining their fruit. A variety that produces delicious fruit never produces an inedible kind. And a tree producing an inedible kind can't produce what is good. So the trees having the inedible fruit are chopped down and thrown on the fire. Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit produced." (Matt 7:16-20 TLB) The fruit of our actions is what tells the world who we really are! The kindhearted, through their acts of kindness; the generous, through the demonstration of their generosity. Conversely, the deceitful, through their perpetual deceitfulness; the evil, through their acts of evilness. What are our actions saying to the world about us? Remember, the fruit don't lie!
PRAYER: Lord, help us daily to produce good fruit and be good examples of the kind of people that represent you in the world. Let our fruit be truthful without fear. Amen.
Matt 5:16. . . . Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. KJV
