As I have put forth an effort, what have I accomplished? What fruit do I have to show for my labors? My self-inventory brought about these questions:
• When I have taken, have I also given?
• Have I multiplied the gifts and talents that God gave to me?
• Have I grown as I studied?
• Am I more valuable now than several years ago?
• Are the fruits of the Spirit evidenced in my life?
I am happy to report that to all of these questions, my answer is “yes,” but at the same time, there should have been more. My inventory revealed a need to go further, to produce more fruit. To accomplish this, I must:
• Give more, even search for more opportunities to give.
• Explore and use my gifts and talents more freely.
• Allow the fruits of my study to grow and develop.
• Study and experience many things that will increase my value.
• Allow the Holy Spirit to direct my life.
So now, with my inventory completed, I will go further and produce more fruit. Paradoxically, I need to stop striving and allow the fruits of the Spirit to grow. I can’t manufacture them; they come from knowing and loving my Lord, Jesus. Please join me in this self-inventory so that you can grow and help build His Kingdom with me.
