Let me paint a picture for you: Imagine someone who carefully planted an orange tree, dedicating years of hard work to nurture it, eagerly anticipating the day when it would bear delicious, juicy oranges. But when that long-awaited moment finally arrives, they are met with bitter disappointment. The oranges are downright terrible, far from what they had hoped for.
This scenario of dashed expectations is frustrating. Well, it mirrors those who have not chosen to surrender their lives to God. They find themselves trapped in negative cycles, where one challenge is overcome only for another to rear its head, creating an unending series of relentless problems, like a rotten tree that bears bad fruits.
The Bible says in Matthew 7.17-18:
“Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.”
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and utterly alone amid life’s struggles. Yet, here’s the incredible truth: God never leaves us alone.
So, my friend, do you desire to be a good tree, to bear fruit that radiates goodness and glorifies your Creator?
You can become like a good tree, bearing sweet, nourishing fruit that brings glory to our Creator. The key lies in surrendering your life to God.
By doing so, a true transformation and abundant fruitfulness await you.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
