This morning I was reading Matthew chapter 7. Very interested group of verses group in the same chapter.

My mind got stuck on fruit that you produce. I have lived many places both as a child and as an adult. I have met so many different people that sometimes I get confused about what context I know them from or which location.

But I wonder what fruit I have produced in others. Have I made a difference in a positive way in people’s lives? What about a negative way? Who are these people? Are there any people? Do i continue to bear fruit in this spiritual sense? If not, how can I change that? If so, how can I do it better? Will I someday find out the fruit even if it may be rotten?

I like to think I invested in my family and bore positive fruit, but will I know? When I see Christ will he truly show me the “back story” to my life. Those things maybe I did that I never realized were more important than I knew at the time.

I want to make an effort to bear as much positive fruit from now on as I am able. Try to see my daily activities in that light instead of just completing tasks that need to be checked off a list.
