Jesus said, “Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people that will produce its fruit.” Matthew 21:43

My challenge every day is to produce the fruit of God’s kingdom: “whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious” (Philippians 4:8).

Today I will examine my words, actions, attitudes, and behaviors to discern the fruits I am producing as I go about my daily life. I will ask the Lord to give me the courage to make necessary changes that I may grow in peace, love, and goodness.
