He wants you to bear fruit
He’s partnering with you
In that
For that
But for any living thing to bear fruit
There is a growing
A stretching
A tilling
A pruning
A fertilizing
That must take place
It’s the law of nature
It’s the way he designed it
Growing pains
Feeling unearthed or chiseled out
Clipped back
And marinating in something unappealing
Is part of the journey
The process
And it takes time
And in our linear perspective
Time can seem to drag on
Put in eternal time
The time it takes
is only perfection
Because He is the gardener
Of your heart
Your spirit
Of your life
Running
Escaping from the process
Might feel safe
For a fleeting moment
But
It will stunt you
If we bear no fruit
Accepting it
As God’s will
As the way it should be
As your plight in life
Is your choking thistle
Weeds
Stealing your soil
Nutrients
Lying
Telling you a false tale
That it’s much easier this way
In this slothful slumber
Of easy street
And barren branches
For a barren life
He has more
For you
It’s been there
Forever
Waiting
For you
Fruitfulness is your destiny
Is the gift
For a more fuller
Richer
Sweeter
Fruit filled life
