Matthew 7:17-20 A healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit. The way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced.
How do you tell the difference between good and bad people? How do you know which ones are producing great fruit and which ones aren’t? It isn’t always easy. In our culture, we often assume that beautiful people would just naturally be good, but beauty and goodness do not always go hand in hand. Maybe our definition of beauty is wrong. We need to see that a good person is always beautiful because their goodness comes from God.
Whatever your definition of beauty is, remember that what distinguishes good people from bad people is their internal goodness. The way you tell whether you’re following God is to see what kind of fruit you have produced. It has nothing to do with your wardrobe or wallet, but with your heart.
A Taste of Goodness
Lord, let me be a sweet and wholesome fruit of your vine. Help me to share the goodness of your love and joy with anyone who will listen. Amen.

One seed produces much fruit. What kind of seeds are we planting in our lives, and what kind of fruit will they bear? This is the truth…a seed will bear the same fruit as that from whence it came. Bad seeds will produce bad fruit, just a good seeds will produce good fruit.
Let us today, plant the seeds that ensure we bear the sweetest of all fruits…love, joy, peace and hope.
Planting good,
