Fruitful

“Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.”
‭‭James‬ ‭5:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The fruit grower has to be patient to allow the root to go deep at least to three feet.  He has to work the soil with right nutrients.  When the fruit tree grows, it needs to be pruned to remove everything that hinders the fruit bearing.  The fruit tree needs the early and latter rain for its productivity.  Our Heavenly Father is patiently working in us to be fruitful by allowing us to be rooted and grounded in His love and walking in it, loving our neighbours as ourselves; abiding in His Word to have fruit that remains; allowing the Holy Spirit to prune us from unwanted attitudes; walking in the Spirit so we don’t fulfill the lusts of the flesh.  All this is making us fruitful in every good work to be prepared for the Bridegroom coming for His Bride.  Let’s be ready for Him with patience...another word for love!
