fruity

I love what Jesus juxtaposes.  Look at Matthew 7:21-23:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' 23 Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Prophesying, driving out demons, performing miracles.  Sounds like a pretty fruitful, compelling, relevant, lively ministry... the type that thousands of people would come to see and be a part of.

But sometimes,

sometimes,

sometimes we fall into this trap of thinking a fruitful life in ministry equals a fruitful life.

It does not.

I'm glad that I got this reminder today.
