I call you to bear fruit (John 15:16), but remember: fruit is never the starting point. It is the end of a long, intentional process. In creation, fruit begins with a simple branch that stays connected to its source. From that branch comes a tender bud. In time, the bud opens into a flower — a brief, delicate moment that allows pollination to take place. Only then does a tiny, almost unnoticed swelling appear… the earliest form of fruit. Slowly, steadily, it grows and matures until it becomes something nourishing, beautiful, and complete.
In the same way, I ask you to submit to My process. Allow the lifegiving sap of My Holy Spirit to flow through you the way nutrients flow through a living branch. Take the step that begins the process — not by striving, but by abiding.
Remain in Me. Stay connected. Let My life move through you. As you do, you will grow to become more and more like Me, moment by moment. I Myself will grow the fruit of the Spirit within you. What begins small and hidden will, in time, become visible, mature, and life‑giving as the process of time unfolds.
With love beyond measure,
Jesus
