Never Ceasing To Yield

Jeremiah 17:7-8 tells us that those who trust in the Lord will not only be blessed but that they will never ceasing yielding fruit. As we look at that verse in light of the New Testament we can see how it is our trust in the Lord that will allow us to continue to be an agent of change in a world that is desperate for change. This tells us that those things that happen around us have no bearing on our ability to bear fruit, so long as we keep our trust in the Lord. Furthermore, this means that nobody is beyond being useful. There is no sin, no mistakes, no anything that can exclude us from being useful in God's eyes.

I believe there is forgiveness or all things. There is a grace that extends beyond our understanding. We must keep in mind that God's call on someone's life supercedes any of our arbitrary molds or ideas about who can and can not serve God. As I read the Scriptures what I see is a God who does hold us accountable for the choices we make but He is also a God who fully restores us. Peter denied Christ 3 times yet it was Peter upon whom Christ built His church. Jonah ran from God and yet He used him to change the hearts of an entire city. So today I encourage you to simply place your trust in the Lord and allow Him to make you useful and fruitful today.
