“A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit.” – Matt 7:18
Ever taken a big healthy bite into a not-so-healthy piece of fruit? It's disgusting right? Not only does it taste bad but it's no good for you either. It looked ok on the outside but beneath the surface lay flesh that was starting to rot. Humanity is tainted with the curse of trying to make things look better on the outside than they really are on the inside. This passage in Matt 7 uses the example of ‘fruit' to help us identify ‘healthy trees'. You may not be a healthy tree but in order to get healthy you have to stop covering up what is really going on. Stop trying to make ‘look good' what is ‘going wrong'. Ultimately it's honesty and vulnerability before God, who can make you healthy, that will start the process of health. Remember that in ‘your weakness He's made strong' (2 Cor 12:9) and ‘He works all things for good for those that love Him' (Rom 8:28). So trust Him. Be honest. Then you'll start to get healthy and produce healthy fruit. That healthy fruit will not only be good for you but bring others joy, strength and nourishment as the freely eat of it. Today, bring your weakness before God so that He can turn it into healthy fruit…then you'll not only be blessed, but be a blessing! Have an incredible day! Much love ?
