So we do not always see the results of our 'fruit' but God does not waste anything done for Him so we can trust that our fruit is making a difference in God's kingdom! <br />Thank-you for sharing your insight!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029451742280017744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-85630645242809268852007-02-05T19:33:00.000-08:002007-02-05T19:33:00.000-08:00You know what Julie?

A thought or picture popped into my head while reading...<br /><br />I saw a fruit tree, I pictured it's fruit being picked b/c if it were not it would fall and rot, being of no use but to improve the tree's life, completing it's cycle...but then I though we are like that tree and our fruit are those things we do for God, we may not see some of those things being used by Him, but we're completing His cycle for our lives still and as for the fruit that is picked or the things we do for God that He decides to have someone notice or pick, is picked and therefore touches that lost person's life!<br /><br />So therefore I guess what I'm trying to say here is that: I think God is trying to tell us that we have purpose whether we see our fruit being produced for a purpose or not...you know it can be so depressing so purposless feeling when we don't see results from our endeavors but God wants us to know that even the "no results" are results!<br /><br />Does that make sense?<br /><br />Thanks for encouraging me in faith~<br /><br />Love you sister!Yokoosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10998546979160857853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8933957650347452922.post-12672769977590677132007-02-05T17:58:00.000-08:002007-02-05T17:58:00.000-08:00Truth be told, some days I feel like a Hawthorne w...Truth be told, some days I feel like a Hawthorne with big prickles, what I'd like to be is a pusseywillow in spring. Yup, one that would only be gentle against someone else. <br />They like to grow in ditches, where there roots can go down to drink. Yup, I'd like to be a pusseywillow for sure.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.com
