Matthew 7:15-20:
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

Sad but true our society today is flooded with “bad fruit” it is important to remind ourselves of this unsettling truth. Thanks !

Love this…for some reason I always find these verses comforting, like a reminder to just be true to me and to God, and those other opinions really don’t matter! :)
Jessica Walters says
I know, I have the *biggest* problem always worrying about what other people think – but you’re right: there’s only one opinion that counts ;) Thanks for stopping by! ♥
