“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.”
— Matthew 7:18 NASB1995
🌳 Fruit Reveals the Root
Jesus speaks plainly: fruit matches the tree. You can’t fake godliness forever. Eventually, what’s growing in the heart will show. Words, attitudes, reactions—they all sprout from what’s rooted inside.
Our lives preach louder than our lips. Are we planted in Christ? Then we will grow in holiness, not perfection—but direction.
🕊 Ante-Nicene Insight:
The early believers knew their witness was seen in action. Their fruit—courage, compassion, endurance—proved their faith was genuine.
💭 Reflect:
- What kind of fruit is growing in my life?
- Am I rooted in Jesus or in something else?
✨ Prayer:
Lord, plant me deep in You. Let Your Spirit produce fruit that glorifies You. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
