By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
— John 15:8 (ESV)

Reflection:
As followers of Christ, we are called to bear fruit that reflects God’s character and glorifies Him. John 15:8 reminds us that when we live in a way that bears fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more—we glorify God and show ourselves to be His disciples. Bearing fruit is not about striving in our own strength, but about abiding in Christ and allowing Him to work through us.

When we remain connected to Jesus, we bear the kind of fruit that makes a lasting impact for His kingdom.

Application:
What kind of fruit are you bearing in your life? How can you stay more connected to Christ so that His fruit grows in you?

Prayer:
Lord, help me to remain in You so that I can bear fruit for Your kingdom. Let my life reflect Your love and goodness to those around me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Challenge:
Focus on one fruit of the Spirit today (Galatians 5:22-23) and ask God to grow that in your life.
