This is the promise: If we stay connected to Jesus there will be fruit in every season of our lives. Not maybe. Not might. Not “if conditions are right.” There will be fruit.
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. {John 15:5}
And the fruit in our lives will thrive {Psalm 1:3}. That doesn’t mean nothing hard will ever happen or we’ll get everything you want. But it does mean that God’s plans for our lives are invincible when we stay connected to Him. Life’s droughts, storms, hail and hell can’t stop him from bringing forth his miraculous work in and through us.
Let’s cling to God’s promises. Hold tight to His heart. Have strong roots that go down deep into His affection for us {Eph. 3:17}. We will not falter. We will not fail. We will not lead a barren life at any age.
Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. {Psalm 92:14}
Yes, we will be women of beauty, growth and blessings as long as we live. Because we are trees planted by the river of God’s love and it will never run dry.
