Fruitfulness
Human life is varied and unpredictable.
The sweet, adorable child becomes a tyrant as an adult.
Those whom we taught about Jesus don’t care anymore.
What went wrong? Yet it is God alone who works great marvels and our
fruitfulness is not ours to count. We pray that God will send down the
healthful spirit of his grace and pour down the continual dew of his blessing.
We may glimpse the fruit of our labours in Christ and are thankful.
Abide in me as I abide in you.
Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine,
neither can you unless you abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches.
Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit,
because apart from me you can do nothing.
John 15: 4-5
In the Province of Eastern Cape, South Africa, Mothers Union responded
to the Department of Education news of an 8 year old girl needing a prosthetic leg.
Local members worked with the municipality to provide her family with proper shelter.
A parish now donates groceries monthly.
State and local government, parish and Mothers Union members:
all working together to bring to fruition God’s love.
