THE FRUIT WE BEAR...

All the blessings we receive, be they material, financial, physical, emotional or mental, are rooted in our spiritual blessings.  This is where our focus should be, on our spiritual blessings.  They are however, the fruit of our material and natural blessings.  Why you may ask..because the root of all of our blessings lies in the spiritual realm.  Think about it this way, just like a fruit tree.  A fruit tree cannot bear fruit if it has no root.  If you separate the trunk of the tree from its root, you eliminate all potential for the tree bearing fruit.  The life of the tree flows unseen, it is hidden in the root system underground.  The life flows up and the branches produce fruit that is beneficial and abundant.  

We are just like fruit trees.  Our spiritual life is invisible and hidden within us.  It flows through our heart and produces fruits that can be seen in the in our natural and material blessings.  The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, humility and self-control.  If we are rich in the spirit, we will produce fruit that allows overflow of our blessings.  

Did you know that our thoughts bear fruit.   When we think good thoughts, our lives produce good fruit. When we think bad thoughts, our lives produce bad fruit. Our thoughts can be like fertilizer to our blessings.  We have to strive to continually think good thoughts.  It is not something that just happens, we have to work at it.  We have a choice in what we say, do, and think, so that means we have a choice in which fruit we bear.  So are you ruining your own fruit or are you striving to bear the best fruit by tuning into your spiritual blessings?
