Fruitfulness

Topic for Today: Fruitfulness
“I would put it to you, my dear hearer, have you been fruitful? Have you been fruitful with your wealth? Have you been fruitful with your talent? Have you been fruitful with your time? What are you doing for Jesus now?” C. H. Spurgeon
Colossians 1:10-12
10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:


Our desire should be to be fruitful in all areas of our lives. I saw some of this yesterday in the waiting room of the ICU ward. I saw people offering encouragement to others while waiting on the news of a loved one. Others were sharing a smile or a hug. Sometimes it is the small things that help a person through the tough times.
Today where ever you are look around you and see if someone needs a smile, a kind word, help putting groceries on the checkout belt. Any thing that could make someone feel just a little better, a little special. That is being fruitful.

Father, how I love to give you praise. You are so loving and kind to us. I feel we are so blessed to have you in our life. Praise your Holy Name.
