Still Bearing Fruit
October 7, 2012

Sometimes the harvest comes late. Sometimes you sow seeds of hope without really knowing it. Sometimes the fruit of your life comes in a way and time you would never expect.

My daughter Melissa had accepted God’s gift of salvation at a young age. But she never saw herself as some great Christian who could change lives. She was just a high school junior trying to cope with a job, school, and sports while balancing friendships—just a kid trying to live as God would want her to.

Yet, in 2002 when He welcomed her into heaven when she was just 17, her faith in Christ and her faithful life stood on their own. No advance warning. No time to make things right with others. No new opportunities to “bear much fruit” (John 15:8).

Melissa tried to live in a way that was pleasing to God—and her life is still bearing fruit. Just recently, I heard of a young person who trusted Jesus as Savior at a sports camp after a coach shared Melissa’s story.

All of us are writing a story with our lives—one that affects others now and in the future. Are we living to please God? We don’t know when the Lord will call us Home. Let’s live every day with an eye on the harvest.

Only the truth that in life we have spoken,
Only the seed that on earth we have sown;
These shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
Fruits of the harvest and what we have done. —Bonar

A fruitful harvest requires a faithful life.

Read: John 15:8-17

By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit. —John 15:8

Bible in a Year:
Haggai 1-2

~Welcome To Sunday At Amy's Place~

Be still and know that He is God
For pathways steep and rough;
Not what He brings but who He is
Will always be enough. —Anon.

Good Sunday Morning

"Only the truth that in life we have spoken,

Thank you, Rus, for this beautiful devotion.
May you have a blessed Lord's Day

Happy Lords Day Meg n everyone!

First freeze tonight so MUST get in Tropicals. Still w/o power but house is tolerable. Hope it won’t be too much longer. Have a little wood so can for now fire it up when I feel it is time. House is 55 n not my ideal but as I say tolerable

After decades of beating the drum for us all to be prepared for the pioneer life, I finally have my test. Just wish I had better health for the work involved. The congestive heart failure makes all physical chores overwhelming.

Might spend Christmas til early March with my bro in OKlahoma. Maybe a few side trips to NM, CO, Texas, Arizona to see folks

Thank you, Rus. What a touching story about Melissa.

Yes, it is true...."We don’t know when the Lord will call us Home. Let’s live every day with an eye on the harvest."

Almost nine months ago, I was laughing and talking with friends at 2:00. At 2:01, they were gone.

The 'harvest' they left behind is a beautiful tribute.

[MEG33]

Amen
Healing prayers, yorkie.
