| “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” |
| —John 15:16 |
As followers of the Great King Jesus, we whom God has called to Himself have a charge to go out into the world and share the truth and great joy that has come to us because of our relationship with God through Christ. As we share what God means to us, the Holy Spirit will use our words to speak to the hearts and minds of other individuals whom God is calling to become a part of His Kingdom.
Jesus spoke these words, as recorded in John 15:16:
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Our task is to remain faithful to the calling that God has given us. He will enable us to bear fruit that we could never bear on our own. When we pray for those who cross the pathway of our lives, we can rest assured that some of those individuals will be profoundly moved by what we lovingly, gently, and tenderly share with them.
At the start of another new day, let’s take seriously our task to represent well the God who loves us with His eternal love. And, let’s remember that we are fruit-bearers. We carry with us the best news that humankind has ever heard: the message of forgiveness for our sins and the salvation that assures us an eternal life with God.
