About two years ago, my son Stephen and I planted a nectarine tree and a Fuji apple tree in the back yard. The only other tree back there was a lemon tree that Timothy and I planted three years ago. The lemon tree has been producing tons (maybe not tons, but you know what I mean) of lemons from the beginning, but the apple and nectarine trees have been slower getting around to producing fruit. Finally, we are starting to see some nectarines and apples this year. I can't wait until they're ripe enough to eat. It's really nice when a fruit tree actually produces fruit!
That's probably what the Lord says about us when He is able to produce spiritual fruit through us, "It's nice to finally see some fruit!"
