Flowers and Fruit

A friend was coming to my home. As she drove down my street looking for the correct house number she noticed a yard with tons of flowers; although it did not match the house number that she had written down she knew it must be my home. She told me this when she came in, and it made me happy to know that my love of flowers is so evident in my yard.

Later I started to wonder if my love of Jesus is as evident in my life as my love of flowers is in my yard. If a stranger walks down my street they know that someone who lives here loves flowers. No signs are needed, no one needs to tell them it is just obvious. Do I have fruit in my life that makes my love obvious, do I need to tell people, and wear clothing that states, "I am a Christian"? I think it is time to take a very close look at my life. I need to watch very closely to make sure that the love of Christ shines through my every word and action!
