God bless!

       Have you ever felt like you have done so much good but don’t feel like it has been returned to you? Of course most of us will say that we don’t care what someone does for us when we do good for them but in the depth of our heart I think we all want some good from any good we perform. It's human nature and no matter how much we fight it the truth is we want benefits. There is nothing wrong with desiring a good thing but we have to come to the understanding that not all good things will produce fruit right away. Some fruit can take as long as 10 years to bring forth fruit in the natural and in the spiritual it is similar. Does it make the fruit bad? Not at all, in fact don’t we value more those things that take time to develop? Have we lost touch with some of the seeds we’ve planted because they were apparently delayed in producing? Will we sell our land simply because the fruit hasn’t shown up? Most people with any sense of value would hold on to the land and allow it time to develop. What will you do? I encourage you to read the verse below with a different perspective, today make do with the opportunity you are given and do good for someone else. Reach out and help a person in need, simply because it's a nice thing to do. Plant your seed and be patient while your fruit is in process of growing, it will not delay!

Preparing my basket and praising Him despite what my eyes may see!

Galatians 6:10 “Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
