God is an amazingly creative God. In His unlimited wisdom, He grows fruits and vegetables that provide food to eat and seeds for even more fruits or vegetables to grow. We can see the potential for new fruit when we open an orange. We can count the seeds and get an idea of the number of trees that could be produced with those very seeds. We cannot see or begin to comprehend the number of oranges that will be grown from one seed.

This may not seem all that exciting, but let's look at this application in our lives. When we ask Jesus to forgive us and are born again, we are like that seed planted into the ground. As that seed lies in the soil, it becomes something new with amazing growth potential. Likewise, when our lives are given entirely to Jesus, there is unlimited potential for the number of lives we can reach. The Lord looks down onto our lives and knows the number of times we will fall, the number of times we will have victory, and the number of lives we will change. He knows and will provide the needed power; the question is... are you ready to produce? Are you ready to grow and be fruitful? When you give your life to Christ and submit to Him in obedience, you will see amazing things happen, not because you are the perfect seed but because He is the perfect gardener. Trust Him and watch the harvest unfold before your eyes.

Life Lesson: Anyone can count the seeds in an orange, but only God can count the number of oranges in a seed.

Dear God,
Thank You for the continuous love that You have shown me. Thank You for Jesus and the gift of salvation that comes through Him. Lord, I praise You for these things and ask that You help me to grasp the impact that my life could have when it is dedicated to You. I ask that You fill me with Your Spirit and use me to be fruitful for Your Kingdom.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
