Are you bare or bearing?

Proverbs 11:30 KJV
[30] "The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise."
What fruit are you producing? Are you producing any fruit? How can a man consume your message if you have no vehicle whereby for them to consume it? When you bear fruit, you provide an opportunity for hungry souls to take a piece and consume. What is your fruit made up of? Whatever is in your heart will be the source from which the fruit grows. Its nutrients will make their way into the fruit that is to be consumed. Nothing in us is good. What makes the fruit good is if we allow the Holy Spirit to have His way, then we will bear the fruits of the Spirit. It is this fruit that is life giving, and we can bear it.
What good is a tree if it is sitting out in a field bearing fruit and no one knows anything about it? It is a good thing when a Christian reads and studies their Bible, when they have a strong grasp of God’s word. What is not profitable however is when this life-giving knowledge is not shared. You having a head full of Bible knowledge that is not shared doesn’t do anyone any good. As the mature Christian meditates on God’s Word the scriptures are illuminated and the Christian is fed, not just so that they can consume it themselves but so that they can share the words of knowledge that others might live.
How will your fruit be distributed? Take your fruit with you and distribute it throughout the day to any hungry travelers that come upon your path. He has allowed the fruit to be born. It is His fruit anyways and he wants you to distribute it. He doesn’t want it to go to waste! It does no good if it is allowed to fall to the ground and rot! The Lord will allow fresh fruit to be born daily as long as you are faithful to tap into His life-giving source. The question is will we distribute His fruit? Or will we allow it to fall at our feet and rot?
Remember only a good tree beareth good fruit. Surely the Lord will not waste good fruit on slothful bearers. That good fruit he giveth to the tree that He knows will make it to the hungry and the needy of this world. What are you feeding on to produce your fruit? If you are daily feeding on the word of God as the source of your nutrients, then the fruit that you bear will be good fruit. Life giving fruit. I ask again are you bearing any fruit? If so, what will you do with the fruit that you bear?
