“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches.
Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit.
For apart from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers.
Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
But if you remain in me and my words remain in you,
you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted
When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples.
This brings great glory to my Father.
John 15:5-8 NLT
***
Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life.
It starts with recognizing your talents
and finding ways to serve others by using them.
Thomas Kinkade
***
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds.
A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship,
and he who plants kindness gathers love.
St. Basil
***
“Be the rain to someone dry land,
for your water will be a new source of hope and fruitfulness in their lives”
― Christen Kuikoua
***
Whatsoever is done out of pure love,
be it ever so little or contemptible in the sight of men, is wholly fruitful;
for God measures more with how much love one worketh, than the amount he doeth.
Ellen G. White
