The More

A friend of mine shared these thoughts in a sermon a few years back. He was preaching on "Bearing The Fruit Of The Spirit." I recently found some of his notes from that sermon and thought I would share his basic eight points, which are a sermon in themselves.

-The more generous we are, the more joyous we become.

-The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become.

-The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become.

-The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become.

-The more outgoing we are, the more helpful we become.

-The more curious we are, the more creative we become.

-The more patient we are, the more understanding we become.

-The more persistent we are, the more successful we become.

When Jesus told His disciples, "Greater works than these shall you do," I believe He meant it. If we can develop these simple traits in our daily life we will see immediate benefits. It's time to be a fruit bearing branch in the body of Christ!
