"Lord I give my life
A living sacrifice
To reach a world in need
To be Your hands and feet
So may the words I say
And the things I do
Make my lifesong sing
Bring a smile to You"
As i was doing my devotions today this song was playing in the back round. its casting crowns "may my life song sing for you"
it seemed to fit with the theme of my devotions (even though they didnt seem to relate at all...)
My devotions were on the Fruits of the spirit.
Love, joy, peace, patients kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. All nine of these must remain together, not one can be missing. this is how the song related...its hard to follow all of these and not devote every bit of your life to God. Giving your life to God, and obeying this list.
"fruit" is often describe in the bible as a persons spiritual walk with God. If someone is spiritually dead, they have rotten fruit.
"Either make the tree good and it;s fruit good, or make the tree bad and it's fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit." Mathew 12:33
"Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John 15:4
"Filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God" Philippians 1:11
So what kind of fruit have you been showing in your daily life?
Not enough =]But I feel encouraged that I can.
