That your fruit should remain. John 15:16
The morning after Jacob had been visited by God, he said, “… Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not” (Genesis 28:16). Imagine, blessed – but unaware of it! Is that where you are today? Asking, “How can I be so blessed, yet feel so bland? How can things be so right, yet feel so wrong?” The answer could be – the defence you’ve built to protect yourself from being hurt again is stopping you from enjoying the blessings God has given you. Think about that for a moment!
Success doesn’t feel like success when you still have the taste of pain in your mouth. Others may even be jealous of your blessings, yet you don’t understand why – because you’re not aware of them. It cost you so much to get to where you are that spiritually speaking, you’re still in shock. And shock is what causes us to shut down and say, “I don’t want to feel anything anymore.”
You ask, “What’s the answer?” Listen, “I have chosen you… [to] bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain” (John 15:16).
Note the word “remain.” God is saying to you today, “I’m going to bless you, but it’s not going to be like any other time in the past. You don’t have to live with your “caution lights” on anymore, or be afraid to trust. What I’m giving you will remain! You’re not going to lose it! You can rest in it! You can hold on to it! So lower your guard, open your heart, and get ready to receive from me!”
