What kind of water fills the ocean? Salt water. And what about a lake or river? Fresh water. Would you go to an ocean and expect to find fresh water? Of course not. Nor vice-versa.

In a persons life, it is the same. The Bible says it clearly in the Book of James;

Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening?Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh. James 3:11-12

Just as no spring can bear fresh water and salt water at the same time, no life can bear good fruit and bad fruit at the same time. It’s either or. And you need to be honest and look at the results of your life. Has it been bearing good fruit or bad? If good, then thank God and keep pressing forward to bear more fruit. But if it is bad fruit, then you need to cry out to God and ask Him to help you change it. 

Your life can not be so so. There is no half blessed and half cursed. Either I am blessed or cursed. Either I have the solution or the problem, but I can not have both. 

You need to decide to pray and say “God, this water is bitter and sour, but I want to be fresh water. I want to be a good fountain”. He’s ready to help you change it. 

May the God of the Bible Bless You
