Are you bearing fruit?

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV)

Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas? 

Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit.

Gather the strength to color even if you don't see the frame yet. It's not a puzzle but the pieces are slowly coming together. I have n

For the first time in a very long time, I am genuinely excited about life and what is for me. I am learning what I should tolerate and what I shouldn't. I cannot put my purpose on hold anymore because certain people are afraid of change. I am no longer ashamed of my past. I am no longer walking in fear due to abandonment and rejection. This is not the time for me to slack in order for others to feel comfortable. Many people are content where they are and that is fine. I am not. I am not forcing relationships to flourish. If you are connected to me then you should be able to adapt to the positive changes in life I am making. The same goes for you. Why are you settling for less than you are worth?
