Bear fruits worthy of repentance.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire.
—Luke 3.8,9
When were those moments for you that bore fruit,
when the sap of God flowed through you beautifully? …
Be mindful of your joy, give thanks,
and allow those moments to rest in you. …
When did your living not bear fruit,
unrooted or dead on the vine of God,
when you felt less life or joy? …
Offer those moments to God.
Be mindful of your longing,
and of God’s grace,
and let that awareness rest in you. …
Give thanks that even as God prepares a way
to come to us in all our lives,
in every moment,
God is present.
