Has someone upset your apple cart?

I was recently in a Sunday School class and we were discussing how we as Christians can be known for our fruit.  Meaning, as we witness to others and tell them about Jesus, are we creating a harvest atmosphere where God can step in and meet them where they are?  Or, how do we feel when we establish a relationship with someone, slowly encouraging them to go down a different path and then someone else steps in and leads them to Christ?  Are we happy for them, or are we upset because someone picked our fruit?

God expects us to be productive and get results.  But we must make God our main focus in this journey of producing spiritual fruit. 

Sow the seeds.  It's not up to us to decide if the soil is good or not.  Be fruitful.  Show love to others.  Let them see the peace in your speech.  God will take care of the rest.

Colossians 1:10 – “So as to walk in a manner worth of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”
