Bear fruit
in keeping
  with repentance.

      Matthew 3. 8

(What fruit God bears
in us and through us
     reflects our hearts.
What are we seeking
          in this situation?
The hardest words are not
saying "Sorry, my mistake,"
but admitting
    "I was wrong.
    Please forgive me."
Forgiveness takes care
         of our past regrets.
Repentance is a choice
to turn and take a
    different path forward.
God changes
the course of our lives.)

O LORD,
We mess up.
We make mistakes.
We let selfishness
       sour our hearts.
We come before You
to align our hearts
              with Yours.
Help us to see
all who are before us,
all that is around us,
    with Your heart.
Bear Your fruit in us
  even in the unexpected,
even in what we
   will never realize.
Every day
not just scattering seeds
but planting trees
through our words,
deeds,
attitudes,
and Your love in us.
Grace always bears
    the sweetest fruit.
