I Am a Fruit Bearer

God’s love in me is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).  Jesus assures in John 15:4 that I will bear the fruit of God’s love as I remain in Him: 

“Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.” (John 15:4 AMP)

This love doesn’t depend upon anyone’s actions toward me. I make the decision that remaining in God and bearing His love is my chosen lifestyle. I don’t always hit the mark, but the Holy Spirit teaches me and encourages me in this process of growth.

I love this life!
