Verse of the Day:  John 15:8 

This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.     

Bearing much fruit comes with spiritual maturity and is a result of being obedient to the Word of God. When you devote yourself to God and His will the fruit of the Spirit is evident in your life and God is glorified. You are a righteous tree planted to bear the fruit of righteousness by which all men will know you are disciples of Christ. But, when you aren’t connected to the life giving vine, you stop bearing fruit. Stay connected to God through prayer, His Word and by serving Him with a surrendered heart.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit that changes me and keeps me connected to You. Lord, I pray that as I devote and surrender myself to You, the fruits of the Spirit will become more evident in my life so that You may be glorified. Amen
