Good Fruit.

I don’t know about you but I love good fruit! No. Not the kind you can get in the regular supermarket. The kind of fruit I am talking about is the fruit you run across a couple of times a year at a road side produce stand or at a “Pick your own” farm. I happen to live in a town that has a pretty great produce stand year around but the last couple of months, MAN… the fruit has been good! I am talking about local grown blackberries that taste better than candy, peaches that you have to eat standing over the sink that blow away any peach flavored drink or ice cream you have ever tasted and watermelons that are so sweet! Then there are the tomatoes. You can’t even get close to a local grown, real deal, tomato!

Well here is my point… think about all those people that think fruit is suppose to taste like it does in the supermarket. Think about all those people that think gray, grainy tomatoes they get from fast food places are “normal”. How sad is that… Man I wish that I could just let them “taste and see” how good it can be.

I am scared that many non-believers have tasted the non-vine ripened fruit of surface believers and think that is as good as it gets! John 15:5 teaches us that apart from abiding in the vine we can do NOTHING, but if we will abide in Christ we will produce MUCH GOOD FRUIT.

I pray that you are not bearing mass produced, supermarket quality, non-vine ripened fruit in your life!
