No good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree is known by its own fruit. Luke 6:43-44 (NRSV) In striving to be the best version of yourself, it will require that you do a humble self-examination. Ask God to search your heart. Honestly look at your life and ask Him to reveal every character trait that does not line up with His desire for your life. No one is perfect, so learn to forgive yourself as you seek forgiveness from God and others. Ask God to remove every character flaw from the root. Then open yourself up to receive the right seeds to grow a fruitful harvest that pleases God and fosters positive relationships with others. Remain rooted in Him and let the fruit of His love flourish in you and through you. Let’s go and grow together. ADaubon
