Fruit Speaks From the Heart

Luke 6:43-45   
43 “For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. 44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Fruit comes from the heart, even when we trip and fall - if Jesus lives in us, if God's Spirit is allowed to control as we yield, then we bear more fruit.  Most, not all, of what we say reveals what lies within.  It is too easy to judge based on failure when the majority of the life practices what is good to God (not what pleases self imposed rules).  If anyone continually practices sin (the bad tree), he is not His as 1 John tells us.  But 1 Corinthians 3 tells us we suffer loss but are saved, bringing in the good with us.
