Hello ,
Apple trees don’t produce apples because they’re trying hard not to produce lemons. They produce apples because that’s what apple trees do. This may be a very simplified analogy, but when we’re connected to Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal Savior, we don’t have to worry about producing the “fruit” that comes with being a Christian. It should happen naturally.
Jesus is the “vine.” We are the branches. If we stay connected to the vine, fruit comes from the connection.
Have a a great day and God bless!
Pastor Mike / The Open Word
P.S. This devotional was produced on my Smartphone, because my “connection” was unstable on my computer. I was reminded this morning, that connection is vital.
