Fruitfulness

They are like trees growing beside a stream, trees that produce fruit in season and always have leaves... ~ Psalm 1:3a (CEV)

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. ~ Galatians 5:22-23 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
God wants to produce good fruit in my life. I need to let him.
PRAYER:
Lord, I'm not a very impressive tree. Oh, I pretend that I'm big and beautiful. But I am really short and scrawny. On my own I have very little to offer. Yet, you have replanted me to be by your living water so that my roots are well fed.  The fruit I produce is all yours. If it were not for you I would be fruitless. Please, I want to continue producing fruit -- more fruit -- even better fruit. It gives me real satisfaction. Amen.
