Make Us Fruitful

On 4 July 2022, I saw this flowering plant in my neighbourhood in Sengkang. The first impression is fruitfulness. Notice the abundance of flowers. In reality, this was merely a small plant. 

God grows us. He makes us fruitful. He helps us to flourish. He blesses us to be a blessing to many.

God exposes us to the elements. Trials, hardships and tragedies are some of the things that we weather as believers. The painful and uncomfortable circumstances are unbearable at times. God is with us as we weather the storms of life.

Our courage does not melt away. We are not sugar coated people. The rain will not wash us away. Our hope does not dissipate. Our joy overflows. We are not quitters. The Lord helps us to triumph. He empowers us to overcome.

God strengthens us. He grows us and continues to make us fruitful. It is not the work of man, it is the power of God's Spirit. 

He will use everything in His disposal to work in us. He prunes. He removes everything that hinder us from growing. He purges us. He cleanses us.  

We are a jewel in the making. The Lord cherishes us. He pours His life into us. He breathes His breath upon us. He moves upon our lives. He empowers us to live victoriously.

Lord, make us fruitful. Grow us exponentially. Grant us growth and wholeness. Touch us by the power of Your Spirit. Make our lives count.
