John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the father will give you whatever you ask in my name (NIV)

The utmost and highest will of God is for you to discover and experience the love of God made possible only through the Holy Spirit. When you experience His love, His love will come out in your life like fruit on a tree. Many people love apples. Only a few people love apple trees. If it were not for a few people who love apple trees who are the ones who maintain orchards, most of the people who love apples would have to do without apples. Many people love to see the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, the sometimes shining and glittering part of God, visibly working in the life of people. There are a few people who have been chosen to bring the fruit of the Holy Spirit into the life of others. Although you may not think so, you are one of those persons. You are one of the people chosen to bear fruit that will last. In all the small ways you interact with people, in all the small talk and in all the small conversations you have, you can bring the love of God into the life of others. The people who love Jesus the most are the people who will produce the fruit. When you love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, things happen in the life of others. What happens is fruit that will last is produced because you loved God so much. In the world, fruit does not last very long. In the kingdom of God, the place where you can live in your heart, fruit can last for eternity.
