"You will bear fruit that will last" from John 15:16 is a strong motivator for me to stay close the Lord and hold His Word as the ultimate standard in my life. It drives me to lay down things that are insignificant under the lens of eternity and motivates me to forgive those who have hurt me and enter into peaceful relationships with them. It is what causes me to speak out against wrongdoing, go against the tide, live differently, and encourages me to share His Word and love with others. God's ways are much higher and far more rewarding to us than any other standard. I want far more than what this world offers and what many people are content with obtaining. I want the fruit that will last!
Dear Reader, I hope you do too. Please pray for me as I pray for you to desire the fruit that will last and to submit to the authority of God's Word in life. Let's go forward together for eternal reward instead of temporary pleasures.
