Be encouraged by a prophetic reflection on visible fruitfulness by Sylvia Bruning.

There is something wonderfully unusual about the strawberry.

What we commonly call the “seeds” on the outside are in fact tiny individual fruits, each of which holds a seed within. Unlike many fruits that hide their seeds deep inside, the strawberry displays the evidence of its fruitfulness openly.

For many years God has been at work in hidden places.

And I hear the Spirit of the Lord say:

“In this time, what I have planted in you will become visible in you.

Now God is bringing forth a people whose lives will openly bear the evidence of what He has tended in secret.

By their fruits you will recognize them Matthew 7:20
