31 Days to Fruitful Living — Day 26

Fruitful Living

Do you ever feel like a piece of fruit on a juicer?   Do you feel manhandled, squeezed, and pushed in opposing directions?

Some days, I just want to say “enough.”  No more.  Stop.

But, I am reminded that my Savior endured much — He endured much more than I ever will.

Jesus was a finisher, and as His disciple, I am called to be faithful until the end.

The fruit of faithfulness helps one to remain.  A faithful person understands that the present suffering will result in a greater glory ahead.

A faithful person learns to forgo present satifsfaction in order to cultivate spiritual fruit that will endure past this lifetime.

The faithful are willing to be squeezed and poured out.

“But I will rejoice even if I lose my life,

pouring it out like a liquid offering to God,

just like your faithful service is an offering to God.

And I want all of you to share that joy.”

Philippians 2:17, NLT

Q4U:  Are you willing to be squeezed and poured out?
